What is a natural way to say' to offer major' in the following sentence? Also, if you see any mistakes, can you fit them?

No college in my country offers the major ' sports marketing', so I have decided to study in the U.K.
 
Why do you think the original is unnatural?
 
You should not leave a space after an opening quotation mark, but there should be a space before one.

I am not sure if ' offer majors' sounds natural. Do you native speakers say offer majors? If not, what do you say?
 
You did it again. No space before "offer".
 
"No college in my country offers a sports marketing major."
"No college in my country offers sports marketing as a major."
 
How about title case (Sports Marketing) as it is the name of the course?

I thought that, but it's not necessarily the name of the course. If no one offers it, it's difficult to say what it's called. Another country might offer a major called "Sports Administration and Marketing" or "Sports Marketing and Management" (which actually exist), which would probably suffice as a sports marketing (generic) major.
I decided my sentences didn't needs capitals, but the OP's could have them instead of the quotes.
