What are the differences between the masters and doctoral programs in sport management?
The master’s program is geared more toward the practical application of sport management and sociology and meant to give students a broad-based exposure to the theories and topics current in those fields. Graduates tend to find employment as college coaches, athletic administrators, professional sport managers, sport media producers, etc. The Ph.D. program prepares students for careers as faculty members in Sport Management with the opportunity to concentrate on the sociological issues in sport. Students can also choose additional concentrations in areas such a psychology, management, marketing, leadership, finance, etc.
