Sports, Cultures and Ethics ,Certificate
Athletes, Baseball, Football, Recreation, history, philosophy, religion
Whether they involve intense fandoms, age-old rivalries, broken records or controversies, sports are deeply embedded in everyday life. Explore the human aspect of sports --- the historical background, morals and cultural significance that shape the experiences of fans and athletes alike.
The certificate program in sports, cultures and ethics is a cross-disciplinary inquiry into the social, ethical and cultural influence of sports in society.
You explore the significance of sports in modern history, including relationships between sports and identity, community, politics, media, business and education. You analyze the ethical and philosophical issues of participating in and watching sports. Courses also cover how playing fields become places of connection and conflict, expanding opportunities or reinforcing inequalities based on race, gender, sexuality, religion and socioeconomic class.
When you complete the program, you have knowledge and understanding of the multifaceted nature of sports and their wide-ranging impact on cultures and lives.

Program term definitions
Accelerated programs allow students the opportunity to expedite the completion of their degree.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master's during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
Concurrent degrees allow students to pursue their own personal or professional interests, earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. To add a concurrent degree to your existing degree, work with your academic advisor.
Joint programs, or jointly conferred degrees, are offered by more than one college and provide opportunities for students to take advantage of the academic strengths of two academic units. Upon graduation, students are awarded one degree and one diploma conferred by two colleges.
ASU adds new programs to Degree Search frequently. Come back often and look for the "New Programs" option.
ASU Online offers programs in an entirely online format with multiple enrollment sessions throughout the year. See https://asuonline.asu.edu/ for more information.
