<p>I'm considering getting a Masters in Sports Management, as I've been working in the athletic department of a local college for the past 5 months (I finished my undergrad in May 2010), and I'm hoping to work as an Athletic Director, or an Administrator in the future....Anyone here have experience with getting a Masters in Sports Management?</p>
<p>Look at the athletic departments of several colleges. Usually they have bios of athletic directors and administrators listed. Look at their educational background to see if you really need a Masters in Sports Management to succeed in that field.</p>
<p>It seems to me that it wouldn’t be needed. An advanced degree would help, but probably in something that is not so narrow. Perhaps an MBA or a Masters in Public Administration?</p>
