This study examines the curricula of marine sport expert institutes to provide productive suggestions for the development of their curriculum, which will hopefully provide useful data for the promotion of marine sports. This research chose four Korean and one overseas universities with the department of marine sports to look into the management of their curriculum and its possible problems. This study includes not only literature examination but also a case analysis that gives an insight into the curriculum of the universities. The results of this investigation and analysis is as follows. First, four Korean universities opened a few courses of marine sports in the section of general theory studies and provides a few marine sport courses based on physical education. Elective theory courses include the theory of marine sport resources, marine sport policies, leisure studies, meteorology, marine laws, sports information, and marine sport English. General practice courses include water skiing, wind surfing, rowing, canoe, swimming and some other marine leisure sports. However, some non-marine sports courses such as badminton, tennis, and gymnastics are also included in the curriculum in many universities. Daebul University provides the courses of ship design, marine development, and marine technology to specialize the department of marine leisure and vessels, but does not open any practice courses of marine sports. Second, such foreign countries as Australia, Netherland, and the US have a long history of yachting as a field of marine sports and also have well-established government policies with regard to it. This specialization becomes more obvious, compared to the curriculum of Korean universities. What is most outstanding in their curriculum is the major courses for the construction of vessels, which include field studies and practices. From the results above, the curriculum of Korean universities is slightly limited and in the stage of early development. Like the marine sports courses of some developed countries, Korean universities should develop more various courses to widen the choice for marine sports students.
