Key features of the first program include:

Future programs will explore other countries and their sport systems based on global sporting events, trends and student interest. The internationalization of our program is one of the major pillars of our program and we are excited to be able to provide our students with these opportunities. In addition to the faculty-led programming created by Sport Management faculty, there are numerous opportunities for semester or academic year study abroad through institutions across the world.

eSports
Faculty in the Sport Management (SM) Program have worked tirelessly with many individuals at NDSU to bring eSports to campus. We are now proud to say that we have a stand-alone eSports lab in the Student (Memorial) Union that is professionally outfitted.
Thanks to this initiative, 1-credit activity classes are now live to all NDSU students. Also, throughout the prescribed course guide, SM students are presented with multiple opportunities to engage with the brand-new equipment and can further educate themselves on the intricacies of the eSport context.
