Sports Minor
Author: The Crusader Staff Writer, Jake Snelgrove
At º£½ÇÉçÔÚÏß, with countless opportunities to learn and set yourself up for the future with dozens of majors and minors to select from. The Abbey is proud to offer thirty-nine total minors open to anyone willing to work to achieve them. You can choose anything from philosophy and motorsport management to mathematics.Â
With that many minors offered, paired with the total undergraduate student total being under 2,000 students, you will never have to worry about being unable to get accepted into a minor program. For today’s feature presentation, we will deep dive into the Sports Management Minor and everything that goes into it.
With a Sports Management Minor at º£½ÇÉçÔÚÏß on your post-grad resume, you will have much better access to the sports business world than ever before. Taking a sports minor requires you to take a minimum total of at least five classes. These classes include History, Culture, and Philosophy of sport, where you learn all about the first ever documented sports in history up to the present-day sports we all know and love today.Â
Introduction to Sport Management and three other 300 to 400-level classes are the different class requirements, where you have a selection that ranges from Intro to Motorsport to Sports Broadcasting classes. Every academic department here at the Abbey showcases very talented and highly praised professors, and the Sport Management department is no different. Â

Listed above are three of Belmont Abbeys’ finest sports management professors, as we highly recommend taking at least one class with each of them.
The sports department is proud to have professors with professional backgrounds in sports media, broadcasting, production, and sports competitions. With the vast collection of knowledge and hands-on experience, each professor can help our students learn and prosper as much as possible. Â
º£½ÇÉçÔÚÏß prides itself on giving every one of its students the highest form of education possible and has done so for many years. With just under forty total minors offered, the Abbey ensures that its students have a wide variety of what they can choose to learn about. The Sports Management Minor is one of the best to take, as it is also one of the more popular minors taken by the students here. The professors and staff are all top-of-the-line and overqualified to teach their classes, which shows in the success of sport management students post-graduation.

Plant Ecology Course!
Author: The Crusader Staff Writer, Tamiya Ellis
The Abbey is known for our amazing biology program. But one thing many people don’t know about is our plant ecology course that is offered by Dr. Robert Tompkins. This is a course that is both fun, interesting, and beneficial. This class allows us to learn about the environment around us, and potentially grow, and be more conscious of our ecological contributions. After taking this course, I noticed being able to name many different trees on campus and at home. I was also able to explain to my parents the difference between salt, tolerant, and intolerant plants.Â
This was a course that I took only as a biology requirement that actually ended up being one of my more enjoyable classes. This course is offered during the Fall, and this previous call offered a beach trip to its students. Many people gave positive feedback about their time on the trip, stating that it was an awesome opportunity to both decompress from the stress of college life, learn about new and interesting planting, lifeforms, and get to know both the professor and fellow students. Plant Ecology is great course, and I encourage you to take it.
