Ross BBA and Sports Management Dual Degree

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Michigan

<p>Hi I just had a few questions about the recently introduced dual degree offered by Ross and the Kines Department (btw I'm a jr strongly considering Michigan)</p>

<p>I've always been one very invested in sports both on the field (although I am by no means a recruited athlete) and off the field (the "world" of sports, Sportscenter, blah blah typical sports junkie) </p>

<p>For a long time I've considered business as one the fields which I would both enjoy and excell in and considered Ross to be my primary goal as far as attending business school was concerned. And then today i came across the dual degree program that is offered now at Michigan which incorporates the excellent Sports Management program with the BBA</p>

<p>1) Are these two separate degrees or a 2 in 1 deal?</p>

<p>2) For when I apply in six months or so do I need to apply to Kines and then PA to Ross or would applying to LSA at first be the path to take?</p>

<p>3) Have you heard of anyone who has done this program and what are their reactions?</p>

<p>4)On the site it says that w/o AP credit this program would reasonably take 5 years but I will have placed out of Calc and hopefully foreign language by the time I attend would this allow me to complete it in 4? (i will also have taken AP tests for 2 Histories + Both Econ, 3 Sciences...blah blah but will have notably not taken Psych and Stats do you suggest taking these specifically?)</p>

<p>and any general reflections on this program would be appreciated. Thanks!</p>

<p>my son is a preferred bba admit (freshman) and is taking the requirements to do the dual degree in Sport Mgmt. He decided as a second semester freshman to do this. He has to apply next year and have the prereqs done by the end of sophomore year. If you come into U Mich with a lot of credits, it is possible to get it done in 4 years and yes, you get two degrees…a BBA and a BS (I think).</p>

<p>If I wanted to apply to this program do i apply to LSA or kinesiology. Also is this a four year course and when do you start this course. Do I have to get in PA to Ross or can i enter my sophomore year if I do not get PA?</p>
