COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
All courses listed will not necessarily be offered in any given term.
All courses are three hours a week unless otherwise noted.
95-500. Sport Leadership
A survey course using the current research and literature relating
to leadership in administrative environments. Several leadership theories
will be reviewed and analyzed. Various models of leadership will be discussed
relative to the sport administration environments.
95-501. Legal and Human Rights Issues in Sport Management
An analysis of the research and professional practice related to the
role of legislation and litigation as they relate to sport and physical
activity programs and services and participation. Specific emphasis will
be placed on the issue of human rights, covering topics including legislation
and case study analyses from the sport management domain.
95-502. Organizational Behaviour in Sport Organizations
An analysis of the interdependent nature of the social/psychological
components of organizational behaviour. Special reference will be made
to individual and group behaviour in terms of the organizational effectiveness
of sport organizations.
95-503. Sport Marketing
An analysis of the research and literature related to the marketing
of sport and physical activity programs and services. Specific emphasis
will be placed on the review and application of sport marketing research,
an overview and application of the related marketing terms and the development
of a marketing plan for a sport organization.
95-504. Philosophical Issues in Sport Management
This course examines the philosophical foundations upon which sport
management decisions are made. Particular emphasis will be placed upon
the role of moral valuation and moral reasoning in the conduct of ethical
sport management practice. Traditions in moral theory will form the basis
for investigations of issues such as social research involving human subjects;
honesty in sport marketing, sport information, finance, and human resources;
and international responsibility in global sport culture.
95-505. Social Issues in Sport Management
Sport managers operate within a social world. This course examines
current social issues and their implications for sport managers. Issues
include the impact of various institutions on sport management (e.g., sport,
government, economics, media, education), as well as the relationship between
sport management and various power relations in society (e.g. race, gender,
class, age, and physical ability).
95-510. Special Problems
Independent study conducted under the advisement of a graduate faculty
member. This course cannot be used as a review of literature for thesis.
(Prerequisite: consent of program committee.)
95-523. Applied Biomechanics of Human Performance
This seminar/lecture course will focus on the application of biomechanics
concepts and measurement techniques in the study of human performance.
Specific topics will reflect the interests of students and may include
areas such as sports, locomotion, activities of daily living, and equipment
testing and design.
95-524. Biomechanics in the Work Place
This seminar/lecture course will focus on applications of human performance
biomechanics in the work place. Special emphasis will be placed on theoretical
and practical methods of assessing work place efficiency and effectiveness
while considering the comfort and safety of the worker.
95-525. Motor Skill Acquisition
This seminar/lecture course will examine the learning processes involved
