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. 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. 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. What is most peculiar in the US is that there is a great range of marine sports courses provided by general private institutes as well as the degree-based courses provided by regular colleges and universities. For example, the courses include not only boat construction but also the qualification for a captain of small vessels, navigation, vessel engine maintenance, meteorology and so on. 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.
