The primary revenue sources will be from the reallocation of existing funds through the
shifting of teaching workloads and the addition of two existing unfilled faculty lines. The
estimates above are based on the average graduate faculty course load of six courses per
year and the average annual salary of $65,000. These are averages are for simplicity and
actual salaries and course workloads will vary by personnel. The calculations assume
that the sport management faculty teach all but one of the courses offered (EHS 6630,
which is already offered as part of the M.S. in AEHS). There will be a small revenue
generation during the summer from enrollment in this program.
