About program
Take your love of sports beyond the scoreboard by honing an understanding of the complex systems in social, economic, racial or otherwise at play. The Bachelor of Arts in General Studies with a Sports and Society emphasis examines the broader economic, political, religious, cultural, ethnic and social systems that apply to the world of sports. Coursework helps students grasp theories regarding teams and group dynamics in sports. This includes issues related to cultural, gender and socioeconomic diversity, as well as those related to the role that sports plays in society.
