What influenced your decision to join this program?

I chose to pursue my MBA/MS in Sport Management at UMass because it would give me the best of both worlds. The opportunity to hone my business skills through Isenberg's robust, rigorous and hands on curriculum and the opportunity to learn from and work with McCormack faculty, who have extensive industry and consulting experience, The McCormack Department of Sports Management's commitment to encouraging women and people of color in the sports industry, epitomized through their partnerships with The Collective Think Tank, WISE, and SEEN was another reason I chose this program.

What advice would you give to a prospective student considering a graduate degree at Isenberg?

Do your research and connect with students and faculty. Don't be afraid to ask questions! If you want to work in the sports industry UMass is the place to be. You'll receive incredible support from your cohort, professors and alumni who want you to succeed and will go out of their way to help you!
