A master’s degree in sports management is one of the highest degrees you can earn. Those who wish to enter the sports field as an athletic trainer often obtain a master’s degree or even a doctorate. A crucial part of a master’s degree in sports management is already having a bachelor’s degree in a related area or earning one during your studies.
Good related areas include business administration, education, public health, or the specific area of the sports field you wish to enter in. Once you have the bachelor’s, a master’s degree in sports management can take anywhere from 30 to 60 credit hours or more to earn, depending on the school which you obtain it in. Requirements can include long hours of study, a thesis statement, and even working with the school’s team in a close capacity.
