<p>hello</p>
<p>i am an international student and have been offered admission from UMich for masters in sport management. I have applied to ithaca, NYU, Temple, SUNY (Cortland), UMiami, austin - texas also and am waiting for their reply. What do you suggest?</p>
<p>thank you all</p>
<p>if you like to travel go to SUNY Cortland. its the only program where you do a semester abroad in london and come out with TWO masters degrees which gives you an edge among competitors. if you EVER want to work in europe, you will have a london degree which is favorable and obviously if you want to work in the states you have a new york degree :). im in london now and almost done with the program. (two semesters of coursework, an internship, and thesis).</p>
<p>Does anyone have any info. about NYU’s M.S in Sports business program? I heard that although it is a relatively new program compared to other top schools that have a SM program like Oregon&Amherst, it’s really nice programs and faculty, and it’s located in manhattan, which means people can work at big sports organizations such as MSG while taking classes(It depends on students’ ability though). Also, NYU is one of top schools in general in the U.S as well. If you have any info. about its program, please let me know!</p>
<p>My son is in his junior year of the sports management program. It is rated as one of the top three in the country. We and he is very pleased with the program. It is well respected. For his summer junior internship both the bruins, red sox, harvard, national lacross, a D league basketball teams and minor league baseball teams have offered him internships.</p>

<p>this is not only based on SM program… but also on the school itself, alumni, experience, city of location… AND MOST IMPORTANT IN SPORTS ( REPUTATION OF SCHOOL !!)</p>
<p>in my opinion… the best SM school in the world is Sports administration at the University of Miami… but Uoregon has soo much money going into their sports program that you cant compare…
honestly… if you are going for law school or MBA afterwards, this should be your list of schools…</p>
<p>I went through many Sports management curriculum and think Ohio and Umass are the best due to dual Degree of MBA/MS… Your views guys.</p>
<p>Can anyone shed some light about the MPS program in Sports Management at St. John’s?</p>
<p>I am from Peru and I am having problems looking for the best sports management programs. From what Ive read, I am planning to apply to Umass, Ohio and Oregon. Which other universities have top programs?</p>
<p>So far I’m considering UF, UCF, UMass, SUNY-Cortland, Ohio U, and Bowling Green State (I live in Florida and will be applying for undergrad). </p>
<p>Are there any other schools I should consider and about how good are the programs at UF and UCF?</p>
<p>Who knows which is the better one between Indiana University, Bloomington and NYU in SM&M?</p>

<p>Someone drop some insight on me.</p>
<p>I want to go into Sports Management next year and my college advisor at school recommened Xavier University which I like a lot and also University of Tampa. </p>
<p>I know Umass and all the schools that are in the top program are always recommened, but does it really matter? I think that my schools would be able to offer good chances for interships.</p>
<p>Xavier is D1 basketball, but does not have football. Tampa is D2 but will this really affect anything for me?</p>
<p>To anyone that gives advice…thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Hi Mj- this is an old thread that keeps popping up every so often. My d graduated SUNY Cortland in 2010 as a sport management major- I addressed alot of these issues in post # 5, 17and 40 from 2008- and alot of what I said then- stands firm now. So read it as I’m not repeating it.</p>
<p>But you are correct- internships are the key. so just pick a school that freely allows for credit internships. Sports teams don’t usually pay interns, and the only way you can get a position is if the school gives you academic credit. Cortland was real good on that end. My kid had 2 summer 3 credit internships as well as a full semester internship for 15 credits. As cortland was easily accessible to Syracuse, there were numerous opportunities for her- even though she sent to school in a small town. Tampa has numerous professional sport teams - so that will certainly be good. My d also considered Tampa but decided she wanted to stay closer to home. </p>
<p>also extremely important- find a program that includes alot of business courses. So in case you decide to branch out from sports, you have a solid business background.
Get into a good program that is affordable- don’t spend lots of bucks in getting a sport management degree. Employers look at your overall experience and not where you got your degree. Not familiar with Xavier so won’t say anything about program, but I thought Tampa had a pretty decent program too- and they were quite generous with scholarship aid- at least back in 2006 when d was applying to college.
If you can major in business-minor in sport management and still get for credit internships- that too may be away to go.<br>
Word to the wise- just concentrate on taking alot of business courses, sport management courses as well as internships. That is the key.
Good luck</p>
<p>Hello,
I have recently received an admit from NYU for my masters in Sports Business. It costs a lot - like $54,429 - so, I wanted to know about the program, how is it?
Also, if I do decide to pay that kind of money, what’s the job scene like?
Do they have tie-ups with top football, soccer, basketball clubs?
Is it worth paying that amount of money?
Thank you,
Kratik</p>
<p>ktatic- it’s just my personal feeling, but I am not a real big fan of a masters in sport management. I think for an undergrad degree it’s fine, but at the masters/graduate level you may be better with an MBA-
in posting #91-niksmoth mentions a joint ms/mba program at U Mass and Ohio.
my gut tells me any program that combines an MBA component may be more marketable in the long run.
my own kid who has her BS in sport management is beginning to supplement it with a masters in management. But she gained alot of work experience in the sports field through internships and her present position.</p>
