Sport and Social Development Minor

The Sport and Social Development minor is open to all degree-seeking students at UNC Greensboro. The minor enables students to gain knowledge and skills to deploy sports to promote health, wellness, and equity. Sports are a significant part of the United States’ economy and social fabric. Most Americans play or engage in sports for leisure, health, recreation, or education. Sports often serve as sites of cultural spectacle, celebration, and debate. As a result, the way sports are practiced and structured carries significant social and political consequences. Thus, students in the minor explore the historical, sociological, and philosophical aspects of sports to prepare to advocate for improved quality of life in their communities.
