<p>i'm going to bump up my suggestion of springfield college. you'd get in, and they have a ton of new york/boston networking opportunities.</p>
<p>okay so thats the impression i was getting concerning nassm....in terms of location, being in the midwest is not important at all, i actually havent been here all my life, so i think i could adjust to a different area pretty easily...id gladly go to the east or west coast or the south, it doesnt matter...and ya i guess it would prolly be better if it were a private school in terms of financial aid (or an inexpensive public) and it would be better for me for the school to be close to a major market area or have major athletic departments, doesnt need to have both, but definitley one or the other...hope that info can help ya out a biit</p>
<p>and, ive checked out loyola and springfield and they have definitley drawn my interest so thanks for those recomendations and i was just wondering if u guys had ne info on those schools just in general and their sport management programs, ne info would help...thanks</p>
<p>I'm kind of in the same boat as robbielou86, looking for a strong sports management program with good job placement and lots of internships in collegiate or professional athletics. The difference between us? I'm already a freshman in college and looking to change majors but my school does not have sports management as a major, minor, option, anything.</p>
<p>I'm looking for a big school (Div I preferably) mainly because I love the large student rambunctious student sections at sporting events, but of course this isnt my #1 factor. I'm not worried about going to a "top 30" school or whatever, as long as its competitive and strong in sports management. </p>
<p>The school I'm considering the most is University of Memphis...but I don't know much about the school, students, or campus. Anyone know what its like? And I couldnt find anything about internships/job placement on their website...where can I get that info? </p>
<p>Location isn't a huge factor...I'll go just about anywhere. Here are my stats from HS and predicted 1st semester college stats. I probably stay here through 2nd semester and hopefully start at a new school next fall.</p>
<p>ACT: 27
GPA: 3.5
Rank: 50??/220
Semi-competitive public high school
EC's: FFA (officer 2 years), sports boosters, community service group (1 year officer), jel and sadd (2 year officer), basketball, soccer, cross country, volunteer in athletic office all 4 years</p>
<p>College: I'm guessing a 3.5--3.7 GPA. After first exams i have an A, A-, or B+ in all my classes
Human Anatomy: A-
English: B+
Psychology: A-
Health: A
Intro/Orientation Course: A</p>
<p>any ideas?</p>
<p>ps sorry to take over your thread robbielou :)</p>
<p>I disagree with AZwolves on it being a concentration and not a major. Every school in the nation has it as a concentration but most place just advertise as a Masters in Sport Administration. There is no such thing as a Sport Management college, rather it is usually either under the Department of Edcuation or Health Sciences, which makes it a Masters of Education with focus on Sport Management.</p>
