We are excited you have chosen Lock Haven University and the Lock Haven community as

Sport Administration major, as well as the requirements for minors in related areas including
Sport and Exercise Psychology, Business Administration, and Coaching. You will also find a
course sequence sheet which outlines when you should schedule the classes for our major.
We now offer an accelerated program. If you are interested in pursuing a professional
career in Sport Science with a concentration in Sport Administration or Sport and Exercise
Psychology let us help you go in the right direction with our Master’s Program. We’ll take
you to the finish line. Each accelerated course has a detailed outline of how to achieve your
goal.
We encourage you to take advantage of all the resources at your disposal. So, in addition to

Haven campus. We recommend you explore the opportunities and resources found in these
partner offices.
One of these resources is our student led majors club, the Sport Administration Society. SAS
organizes sport and recreational events throughout the year for the Lock Haven University
campus as well as our local community. They also spearhead activities that will accelerate
your professional development including conference and job fair attendance. Plan to attend
their meetings and get involved in their activities.

CAMPUS RESOURCES
Sports Administration Mentorship Program-The Sports Studies department provides a
mentorship program for incoming freshman. Freshmen are paired with a mentor, who is a
successful upperclassman, from the Sports Administration major. Incoming freshmen meet
with their mentors when they first arrive on campus so that they can get to know them and
ask any initial questions that they may have. Continued contact with a mentor can be via
phone or email, or a prearranged meeting. Mentors will provide advice on strategies to
excel in the classroom, good study habits, scheduling, extracurricular involvement, and any
other questions that they are qualified to answer.
Counseling Services-Counseling services is a component of the Department of Academic
Development and Counseling. The services provided offer consultation, psychological
assistance (psychological testing, diagnostics, and treatment) and counseling to students
with personal, emotional, or academic adjustment concerns. A licensed psychologist and
other professional counselors assist students with questions about achievement,
educational progress, interpersonal relationships, coping problems, self-image, social skills,
or other potentially stressful or emotionally disturbing experiences. Services are provided
daily during regular working hours or by appointment. Students may be referred to offcampus agencies and private practitioners when desired or appropriate. Students
interested in scheduling an appointment to speak to a counselor or psychologist should call
the Counseling Services office at 570-484-2479.
Tutorial Services-The University Tutorial Service provides tutors to students who apply for
assistance in basic subject areas and general education courses (100 and 200 level courses).

and qualified peer tutor, will depend on the student’s academic needs and available time.
Tutorial Service assistance is provided in individual and small group settings. The purpose of
this service is to increase the probability of academic success for each student participant.
Tutoring can provide clarification of concepts, theories, and ideas presented in class or
textbooks, improvement of various study skills, and development of a more confident,
positive self-image as a student who can succeed academically. Tutoring is viewed as a
collaborative learning experience between the peer tutor and members of the
group/individual receiving tutoring. Students are encouraged to seek tutorial help before
they experience or anticipate serious difficulties in their coursework to facilitate this
process. IF YOU NEED HELP WITH A COURSE (EXCEPT ENGLISH OR MATH) APPLY IN THE
