Although Dartmouth does not have any course offerings for students interested in sports industries, undergraduates can now turn to the newly formed group Sports Business at Dartmouth a student-run organization that aims to provide students with information and contacts for those interested in a career in sports, according to Kyle Battle '11, co-director of alumni relations for SB@D.
The first group of its kind at the College, SB@D plans to promote a variety of jobs in sports-related industries, such as careers in media, management, marketing and sports medicine.
"Our major problem is that since we don't have a sports business major, or any sports management or sports marketing or things like that [at Dartmouth], we are inherently at somewhat of a disadvantage," Battle said.
To fill this need, SB@D trying to "bridge the gap" between Dartmouth students and those of other Ivy League institutions, Battle said.
Dartmouth is the last of the Ivy League institutions to establish a sports business awareness group for its students, according to Battle.
