How to Apply

The M.B.A./M.S. in Sport Management applicant must apply and be accepted by both the M.B.A. and M.S. programs. When applying, please specify that you are applying to the M.B.A/M.S. Sport Management program. For an application to the Graduate School, please see the Graduate Application Page.

Admission to both the MBA program and the Department of Sport Management is highly competitive. Applicants' academic history, GMAT performance, motivation, aptitude for graduate-level work, and managerial experience are all taken into consideration. Candidates with at least two years of full-time work experience are preferred.

Application procedures are fully explained in the Graduate School Bulletin. Application forms for the Sport Management Program should be sent to the Graduate Admissions Office by December 15 for earliest consideration, and no later than February 1 for September enrollment. (the only enrollment semester possible). Due to the fact that applications are reviewed on a "rolling" basis, (meaning they are reviewed as they are received) we strongly encourage applications to be submitted well in advance of the University deadline.

Selected candidates will be notified for the scheduling of a mandatory on-campus interview.
