Bellarmine’s six-credit-hour minor in sports studies is intended to increase students’ understanding and appreciation of the history, psychology and business of sports. The minor enables students to
explore the area of sports through the lens of subjects grounded in the
liberal arts as well as professional studies. Concurrent with the minor,
the Institute for Media, Culture and Ethics plays a critical role in
providing supplemental activities such as sports-related seminars and
guest speakers.
The minor is consistent with the University’s mission to “foster a
thoughtful, informed consideration of serious ideas, values and issues –
time honored and contemporary – across a broad range of compelling
concerns.”
