The Department of Exercise and Sport Science offers the executive-style Master of Arts (MA) in Sport Management in a completely online format. The MA in Sport Management is aimed to enhance the knowledge base of sport management through an online learning environment. This aim will support students who are currently working and possess the desire to achieve an advanced degree in the hopes of advancing their careers in the sport industry. The purpose is to have students engage in the broad topics within the sport management discipline in an intense program to provide students a deep level of understanding within each topic. As a result, each student will obtain knowledge in the advanced workings of the management, marketing, leadership, legal, and financial aspects of the sport industry. The executive style of the program allows students to continue to keep working while enrolled in 8-week courses (2 courses per semester)—5-week courses in the summer—and finish the degree in 20 months.
