<p>I'm a high school junior with very good stats and I want to be a sports management major a top university. The problem is I don't know which top universities even have the major. I've seen several lists and read threads on this site that contradict each other so I don't know what to think. My top two choices as of now are NYU and UMich, can someone please tell me what other schools around that caliber have sports management majors for undergrad? I've heard UNC and Villanova, but I can't find any proof that they do.</p>
<p>Here’s a list of U.S. schools with Sport Management bachelor’s, master’s, and/or doctoral programs:
[Sport</a> Management Programs: United States | North American Society for Sport Management](<a href=“http://www.nassm.com/InfoAbout/SportMgmtPrograms/United_States]Sport”>http://www.nassm.com/InfoAbout/SportMgmtPrograms/United_States)</p>
<p>I wouldn’t advise getting a bachelor’s degree in it however. I’d be inclined to choose the undergrad school based upon your desire for the institution as a whole, and then get a master’s in Sport Management. Consider that job openings will favor those with the master’s, and the internship you’d do as a part of the master’s program would either add greatly to your resume or could lead to a job itself. Graduate programs often provide opportunities to cover tuition through graduate assistantships on campus.</p>
<p>I’ve considered what you’re suggesting, but I want to ultimately be a sports agent. My plan is to be an undergraduate sports management major to get the background I need in the business of sports, and then go to law school after I graduate. That’s why I’m looking for the top sports management undergrad schools, I’m probably going to law school after I get my bachelor’s.</p>
<p>Good morning,</p>
<p>I just read your comments regarding your decision to pursue an undergraduate degree in sport management, and then go on to law school to attain legal skills sets in order to do your duties as an agent. Honestly, I’ve had the same vision for the past year but I don’t know if I should go through with it! Drexel University accepted me into their Sport Management program, and the University of Arizona accepted me into their Eller School of Management as a Pre-Business major. You posted this in 2010 so have you followed through with everything?</p>
