On behalf of the faculty and staff in the Sport Studies program I would like to congratulate you on selecting Lock Haven University to pursue your academic goals and prepare for your professional career. It is our pleasure to work with you to achieve these goals. The purpose of this freshman manual is to provide you with important information about the Sport Studies program and additional student services that will help you thrive and succeed with your studies.

The manual provides information on academic programs, accelerated programs, minors, along with required courses, and a course sequencing sheet which outlines when you should schedule classes for the major. One important item is the contact information for your academic advisor within the department. Your academic advisor will work with you during your studies at Lock Haven to ensure that you complete the necessary academic requirements towards attaining your degree. For this reason, you should meet with your advisor during office hours to plan and discuss your courses each semester and to update each other on additional educational, research, and experiential learning opportunities that you may desire to pursue. The academic experience is enhanced on campus through opportunities provided within the student-led Sport Management Club. The club provides opportunities for students to attain leadership roles and also to participate in career fairs, conferences, experiential learning opportunities, and other related activities within the University and the local community. I encourage you to engage with the club and interact with your fellow students to enhance your educational experience at the University. Again, Congratulations!
