The U.S. sports industry generates more than $500 billion in annual revenue and touches every community in the country. Yet the industry runs on professionals who understand business as much as the game. Athletic directors. Agency executives. Marketing directors. Facility managers. Event producers. Webber's Bachelor of Business in Sport Business Management is built for them. It's a real business degree with the same accreditation and the same rigor as our flagship programs, applied to the industry you already love.

$500 billion industry.Every league, every level.One degree to lead them.

The Degree
100% Online

Bachelor of Business in
Sport Business Management

A business degree, applied online.

Webber's sport business degree is delivered 100% online and anchored in the same accounting, finance, marketing, and operations coursework that powers our flagship business programs, then specialized for the working economics of the sports industry. You graduate fluent in spreadsheets and ticketing models, in contracts and sponsorships, in the discipline of running a real operation across athletics, facilities, agencies, and media. The capstone project asks you to build a business plan for a real-world sports venture.

What You'll Study
  • Examine the supply, demand, and revenue structures behind the $500 billion U.S. sports industry. Build the analytical foundation to evaluate franchises, price tickets and sponsorships, and forecast trends across pro, college, and community athletics.
  • Plan, staff, and run day-to-day operations for athletic departments, training facilities, stadiums, and arenas. Covers scheduling, vendor management, safety, capital projects, and the discipline of a working sports organization.
  • Build brand, audience, and revenue across teams and events. Strategic sponsorship sales, fan engagement, partnership activation, and the digital and broadcast media at the center of sports business today.
  • Contracts, NIL, labor relations, Title IX, intellectual property, and risk management built around the legal frameworks specific to athletics: player agreements, venue agreements, broadcast rights, and league governance.
  • Financial statements, budgeting, capital planning, and tax strategy applied to sports ventures. The same accounting backbone our flagship business students learn, taught with examples from the industry.
  • Spend your final term building a complete business plan for a real-world sports venture: market analysis, financial projections, operational plan, and a go-to-market strategy. You graduate with a portfolio piece you can use to launch.
