Neumann University's graduate program in Sport and Entertainment Management is an 18-month, classroom and online program which leads to a master’s degree (M.S.). It provides flexibility, personal access to faculty members, and opportunities to network with other graduate students. “A master's degree in sport and entertainment management can provide the credential that you need to increase your earning potential or prepare you for an exciting career change,” explains Andrea Pent, associate professor of sport management.
“The sports and entertainment industry generates more than 500 billion dollars annually in the U.S. economy”, according to Dr. Bob Bunnell, director of the Sport and Entertainment Management Program. “As the line between sport and entertainment becomes even more difficult to identify, those students trained to consider these two areas together will have an advantage in the job market and the workplace.”
Professional competence is developed through a comprehensive business and sport management curriculum and demonstrated through required experiential opportunities. To provide flexibility and accommodate working students, courses are offered in an accelerated format (seven and a half weeks per course) and delivered in hybrid format (blending in-class and online activity), providing students with small class sizes and personal attention from faculty.
The program is designed to be consistent with and reflective of the University's mission statement. In the delivery of the program, professionals are prepared according to both Franciscan ideals which shape the curriculum and to the standards of the Commission on Sport Management Accreditation (COSMA) which meet the growing challenges of an ever-expanding industry. Neumann is among the first five universities in the country to receive COSMA accreditation.
