Gain Real World Experience

Sure, you’ll use actual sport case studies in many of your classes. You’ll wrestle with the ethical, business and practical challenges of working on modern sport, where entertainment and athletics collide. But, the real proof of your valuable education in sport management comes from full-time internships at places like these:
- Ohio High School Athletics Association
- Intersport-Chicago
- Stack Magazine
You’ll get the chance to take your professional development on the road too. Several sport management majors visited the WNBA Detroit Shock last year, and a bunch more met with people in the Cleveland Indians and Cleveland Cavaliers organizations.
