Sport management is a field that focuses on the business attributes of sports. People in this industry are involved with the planning, organizing, managing, and budgeting aspects of a department or organization whose primary focus is associated with sports or physical activities. Many times, sport management professionals are involved behind the scenes in areas such as finance, marketing, leadership, facility management, and event management. A Master’s in Sport Management can be used in nearly all fields of sports, including public recreation, private organizations, social organizations, government athletic activities, amateur sport, college-level athletics, and professional sports.
This program is offered completely online.
