Sport Management
Looking to launch or advance a career in the $350 billion sport industry? This concentration will prepare you for leadership positions in sport management/sport marketing firms, licensing and apparel marketing, or radio and television programming.
Unlike hospitality/tourism or kinesiology/physical education programs, our sport management concentration pairs with an M.B.A. degree — a distinct advantage. Our broad-based program combines a strong core curriculum with electives that let you map your own path, and we keep the whole thing streamlined to just 40 credits.
Our alumni can be found in any number of prestigious sport organizations: the Yankees, Madison Square Garden, the NBA, the Mets, and many others.

The Stillman Difference
Seton Hall offers a top-ranked, accredited M.B.A. for working professionals that transforms concepts into practice.
"I love walking into a classroom, experiencing an "ah-ha" moment, then applying this new knowledge immediately to my work, accelerating my career."
Stephanie Gage ’09Customer Marketing Category Manager, Ferrero USA Inc.
Curriculum
With a focus on an ethics-centered education, our M.B.A. starts with a core curriculum that covers accounting, economics, the behavioral and quantitative sciences, and the functional areas of business.
That means that you may study international sport management or sports television in the age of new media one semester, then organizational and market dynamics the next. To further round out your education, you'll select several electives from a field in the M.B.A. curriculum other than sport management.
At the end of the program, you'll have the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained and consult with an actual client in our M.B.A. consulting course.
Expect small class sizes and dynamic lectures and discussions with faculty and industry professionals. Many of our students, guest lectures, and adjunct faculty come from the New York metro area's leading organizations, infusing each classroom with their unique perspectives and expertise.
