How to Apply

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

Note: If you wish to be considered for both the Dual Degree and one-year MS program, you do NOT need to complete two separate applications. If you apply only to MS, it is reviewed only by MS - if you apply to dual, it is reviewed by BOTH MBA and Sport Management departments.

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.

Any students applying to the Sport Management Dual Degree program are required to submit a GMAT score. This includes any applicants who have obtained a Masters Degree based on a GRE score. The only exception to the GMAT requirement is an applicant who has obtained a J.D. (law) degree.

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.
