<p>Can anyone give me any information about this program? I know its one of the top in the nation, the connections to nike, etc, but what are the classes like? Did you people that went through the program get a job you were hoping for? Would it be better to go through the program as an undergraduate or graduate student? Thanks for any information.</p>
<p>Graduate student. At the undergraduate level the program is simply a student club (though there are sports marketing classes). At the graduate level it is actually considered a “Center of Excellence” that requires additional essays and interviews to be admitted into. One great thing about the Lundquist college of business is that their new dean, Dennis Howard, has a strong background in sports (specifically stadium/arena financing) so there should be additional focus on the program. Dennis is considered an expert in the industry. Sports business programs across the country use his text book. Funny enough, more Warsaw graduates end up at Adidas than at Nike. A lot of students also end up in sponsorship positions at consulting agencies. The program has a fantastic reputation nationwide with a lot of graduates taking positions in New York City.</p>
