Student Insight
"I chose UMass to assist with my professional pivot because of the exceptionality of the faculty, the strength of the alumni network, and the high esteem that the program holds in the sport management sector. The cherry on top is the engaging community that fosters growth through collaboration in a non-competitive space."
