Sport Mentorship
The Sport Mentorship experience provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate the ability to apply sport management theory and principles in the practical setting. Students are afforded the flexibility to select the site in which they will complete their mentorship, or they may work with California University Sport Management Studies faculty in selecting a site. Students are often able to complete the mentorship in their current places of employment. All mentorship sites are subject to approval by the Sport Management Studies Program Coordinator. Students must complete all other coursework before enrolling in Sport Mentorship. Students are required to complete a minimum of 300 contact hours at an approved mentorship site. During the Mentorship, students will be required to complete a weekly journal, mentorship experience report, supervisro evaluation, and Mentorship project.
