About the School of Sports Administration (SPAD)
Our mission is to develop future business leaders, for the sport industry through an interdisciplinary approach to problem-solving, industry integration, experiential learning, and innovative scholarship.
The School of Sports Administration (SPAD) is the first undergraduate business school in sports management in Canada. While H.B.Com. (SPAD) degree is the best preparation for working in the sports industry, it is also valued by many non-sports organizations.

The knowledge and skills developed in SPAD are desirable across all industries and valued by all organizations.
