HPE Students PARVO Lab HPE Lab

The South Dakota Board of Regents approved a new undergraduate degree in sports marketing and administration at Northern State University in May 2006.

Northern State’s program will prepare students for professional positions in the sports industry, which has expanded to a $195 billion industry over the past decade. "With our society’s increased emphasis on sports and fitness activities to ensure healthy lifestyles, there are excellent employment opportunities for graduates in this field," said Regents President Harvey C. Jewett. "Only a few universities in the Midwest have undergraduate programs in sports marketing or sports management, and Northern will now be one of those.”
