Career Opportunities
Blackburn has outstanding students in its programs. Many of our students receive campus honors from our College Work Program and/or serve in management level positions within the program. We encourage student participation in the professional conferences we attend.
We invite a select group of guest speakers to address current topics in physical education and sport management. Students also have the opportunity to visit several off-campus locales (NCAA headquarters, Jacksonville Illinois School for the Deaf and the School for the
Visually Impaired, Illinois State High School Association, sport care facilities, and sport manufacturing companies) which enhance their professional experience.
All our recent graduates are currently employed in their discipline or some are pursuing graduate study. Graduates of our programs are employees in teaching, coaching, athletic training, recreation, and fitness, and all are considered specialists in their fields. Job
opportunities are found in a variety of settings such as elementary and secondary schools, colleges, public and private recreational agencies, professional sport teams, sport facility management, sport event management, sport promotion and marketing, and corporate fitness programs.
