The MBA in Sport Management (MBASport) at Florida Atlantic University began its first full year of operation in August, 2000 with the hiring of its first full-time Director, Jim Riordan. Since its inception, over 90% of the program's graduates are employed in permanent, and/or full-time sport and/or entertainment industry positions.
MBASport combines a superior, rigorous graduate business curriculum with a specialization module that emphasizes the business of sport. The program is practitioner oriented and students will be expected to participate in out-of-classroom practical experiences at local and regional sport and/or entertainment entities. A major internship (minimum of 400 hours) is a requirement for graduation. It cannot be over-emphasized that MBASport is geared for those who are or wish to become managers and executives in the business side of the sport and entertainment industry. It is not for those who are in or wish to be in careers such as high school athletic director, coaching, exercise science, physical education teacher, athletic trainer/sports medicine, or researcher. MBASport does not offer a thesis/track option. MBASPORT DOES NOT OFFER PART-TIME STUDY OR A CERTIFICATE OPTION.
MBASport students may not be employed outside of the sport industry during their tenure in the program.
