Sport Management (M.S.)

The growth of sports as a major industry has increased the need and opportunities for well-trained professional managers.  A well-rounded business education with a focus on sport management skills is essential in this rapidly growing field.    The M.S. in sport management requires 14 courses totaling 42 credits, and combines courses related to sport management with the core courses from the global M.B.A. program.  Students will also participate in a supervised internship program.  This is a unique joint venture not found in most sport management programs in the United States.  This program is one of 27 programs in the country, and one of only two programs in New England to be approved by the Sport Management Program Review Council.

Among the many organizations that have employed the university’s sport management students are the Boston Celtics, the United States Olympic Committee, the Boston Bruins, the Fitness Network, the Manchester Monarchs, Nike, Red Bull and the Y.M.C.A.
