"The strength of the sports management program is the hands-on experience you get and the many opportunities that are available. The classes are very interactive. They don’t just make you read from a book and then take a test. Instead, they give you real-life scenarios and ask you to work through them. Many of the classes also require you to get involved outside the classroom, which exposes you to the unpredictable world of sports."
