<p>hey so im applying to Syracuse (regular decision) and I was just wondering; Since im applying as a Sports Management major, would that give me a competitive advantage over someone whose applying as...say a Business Major? From what I have learned, the Human Ecology department is one of the smaller departments that Syracuse has (Somehwhere in the range of 950 students) . I would think they would want to make it bigger. It was just a thought... lemme no ur opinion...especially if u go 2 DA CUSE' lol</p>
<p>I was just about to ask this same question.</p>
<p>Im currently a freshmen in the program and in one semester the program has done so much for me. It's a new major on the rise. Very well run with soooooooo many connections and programs to help you attain success once you graduate.</p>
<p>Is it a selective program to get into?</p>
<p>Very selective from what we were told after being accepted and when we first arrived on campus. The are ranked third in the nation in sports management behind UMASS and Harvard....but those have had sports management programs for multiple years, while Syracuse just started a few years ago. All they talk about is how they want to make it the best program in the nation. They are putting up a new building (The David Falk Center) Just for sports management.</p>
<p>....Harvard does not have sports management lol</p>
<p>thats awesome! so yeah i guess it would give me an advantage</p>
<p>Applying as a Sport Management major doesn't give you an advantage over a business major. 'Cuse bases admissions based on each individual program/major, so when you apply as a Sport Management major, you are compared to all the others applying for that major. It's also a program that is not going to grow. I was accepted to the program ED, and when I met with the chairman of the department in August, he informed me that as long as he runs the program, there will only be 50 slots a year, as it is too hard to find jobs for all the students if there are more slots. If you want an advantage I would suggest meeting with as many people involved in HumEc and Sport Management as possible to show them that you are serious about the school.</p>
<p>damn....but wait im a little confused acor...does that mean gmen was lying? And if theres 50 slots in the major then thats an average of 12.5 people in every grade. That sounds way too competitive for a major to me.</p>
<p>How was I lying...And there is 50 students a grade</p>
<p>Why would they put a new building up for 200 students?</p>
<p>Welcome</a> to Syracuse University News.</p>
<p>There you go read up</p>
<p>You should see the College of Human Ecology compared to the buildings for the other schools. It's funny LOL</p>
<p>JJac, I don't know if you're aware of this either but while Sport Management is a demanding major it is also a fairly expensive one. By this I mean you are going to need to shell out an extra 12,000 dollars at some point for an internship over the summer to complete your degree. Maybe you are better off applying to the business school and doing sport management as a minor. That should give you the edge over other students and not be as financially burdening.</p>
<p>well if i go in as a poly sci major (2nd choice 4 cuse') and minor in sports management thats fine to i guess.</p>
<p>So what should someones stats be who wants to study sports management at Syracuse? I like the school and I know I can't get into Newhouse so I hope getting into the sports management program is easier and its not as competitive as Newhouse right?</p>
