An integrated curriculum is where students explore knowledge in various subjects related to certain aspects of their intended environment (Humphreys, 1981). This program aims to identify the concepts of an integrated curriculum and highlight examples of sport management projects that cross subject areas and require courses to provide students with multifaceted contextual issues often faced after graduation. The goal of integrating curricula is to enhance students’ problem solving and decision-making within a sport industry context.
