Career Development in Sport Management & Leadership is the capstone course for majors in Sport Management & Leadership. A Capstone, by definition, is "a stone that forms the top of a wall or building ? a final touch, a crowning achievement, a culmination." The capstone experience is designed to bring reflection and focus to the student's experiences at UNH. This course builds upon and extends the knowledge developed in prior required and elective courses, while tying in previous and current readings and discussions into the student's future in the sport industry. In addition, all students will develop several skills in the areas of professional writing, public presentation, and action-based research. Throughout the course, students will work individually and in groups. Prior to taking this course 150 Hours of documented sport related experience is required.

Majors cannot receive credit for statistics courses taken after they have declared SOC.
