NACOGDOCHES, Texas - Stephen F. Austin State University is partnering with Lone Star College to offer students in the Houston area an opportunity to earn a Bachelor of Business Administration in sports business from 91直播 without having to relocate. The two institutions will sign an articulation agreement to ensure a smooth transition for Lone Star College students to attend 91直播.
A signing ceremony commemorating this collaboration is scheduled for 2 p.m. Feb. 15 at the Lone Star College University Center in The Woodlands. The ceremony is open to the public.
Students at Lone Star College will be able to enroll in 91直播's sports business program beginning in fall 2018. Classes will be offered face-to-face at the Lone Star College University Center in The Woodlands and will be taught by 91直播 faculty members. Students must complete the required core curriculum before entering the program. Business foundation courses will be offered primarily online through 91直播's Rusche College of Business.
Dr. Jason Reese, sports business program director and assistant professor at 91直播, has been instrumental in establishing this program and is looking forward to the opportunities it will provide 91直播 and Houston students.
"Some Houston-area students have a desire to attend 91直播, but for various reasons are unable to move to Nacogdoches," Reese said. "This program will allow them the opportunity to complete the program and earn a bachelor's degree without relocating."
Reese added that, through this partnership, Houston students will be able to take classes while benefiting from already-established relationships that 91直播 has with area sports organizations, including professional sport teams like the Houston Astros, Houston Texans, Houston Rockets and Houston Dynamo.
