<p>Very good points - my son is only a junior in hs - so we have plenty of time to research this topic. The interesting thing for me is that I have been down this exact road before! S1 was accepted at Elon and had listed LSM as his intended major. But, then we all thought that even though he loved sports mgmt - and was also accepted at Michigan for the same - maybe that was too narrow a focus and that he’d be better off doing a more generic business major. So, he is at another university, majoring in business but also working for a sports team, so he’s getting that practical experience as well.</p>
<p>The reason I like the Elon Sport and Event Mgmt major for S2 is that it looks more doable for him than a business major. Some of the business major programs require so many calculus/statistics/accounting classes - I think it would be too much. This major looks really interesting - he could still minor in business administration or some type of communications - and have some (hopefully) marketable skills upon graduation. I agree that internships and summer jobs will be key in terms of helping with post-graduation employment. We’ll be visiting Elon in November and I am hoping we can learn more about this program then.</p>
