<p>A2-- I'd suspect you'd need to get accepted to Wharton, a first major hurdle, then major in management or marketing, and interact somehow with this sports business group to do some focused things in the sports area. Again, I have no clue whether this is an undergraduate option because all I see written on student activities is:</p>
<p>START QUOTE
Students have long requested more formal opportunities to focus on the business of sports while at the Wharton School. WSBI introduces students to the Sports Business Industry through:</p>
<p>-Sports Business Consulting Practicum opportunities, company treks, and independent study projects;</p>
<p>-sponsoring sports-specific conferences, speakers, career panels, receptions and forums to raise exposure to leaders and key topics in the sports business industry;</p>
<p>-facilitating recruiting efforts in this highly competitive industry by working hand-in-hand with career services, companies and alumni;</p>
<p>-support of student-run sports business focused clubs at the MBA and undergraduate levels;</p>
<p>-there are no sports management degree programs at Wharton and currently no plans to introduce them</p>
<p>-certificate programs can be customize for sports industry organizations.

<p>Suggest you contact the program directly....don't go thru admissions to figure out if this is a possibility:</p>
<p>"To learn more about these educational programs email us at <a href="mailto:sportsbusiness@wharton.upenn.edu">sportsbusiness@wharton.upenn.edu</a> or contact Professor Kenneth Shropshire, WSBI Faculty Director, at 215-898-3017."</p>
<p>I'd urge you to make a phone call (repeatedly if necessary) to the named professor until you connect, rather than to send an email to this drop-box. Much easier to ignore an email.</p>
