B.A. Sport Management

Overview

THE PRESEASON FOR YOUR CAREER IN SPORTS

The B.A. in Sport Management prepares students to step into internships and jobs at all levels of professional, collegiate, and youth sports with confidence and focus on building relationships for the sake of the gospel.

Our Sport Management program at The Master’s University is designed to equip the next generation of sports industry leaders. Does that sound like you? Does the idea of pursuing a career as the general manager of a professional sports franchise or as a gameday operations coordinator sound interesting? What about working with data analysis or ticket sales? Our program provides students with the wisdom, practical skills, and networking necessary for a career in sports and a lifetime of faithfulness to Christ and Scripture. Students will be mentored by professors who have years of professional experience and an extensive network of contacts in the industry - all while enjoying the benefits of studying in one of the country’s best regions for sports, Southern California. Located within driving distance of teams in the NFL, NBA, MLB, MLS, and NHL, our students can experience live sporting events and interact with the professionals who work behind the scenes to make them happen.
