What makes Walsh's Sports Management curriculum unique?

  • Hands-on experience. Experiential learning during the third and fourth year transitions Sports Management majors out of the classroom and into the professional world.
  • Business understanding. In a constantly changing, dynamic environment, students will learn how important effective management is for a sports organization's success and ultimate sustainability.
  • Responsible best-practices. Ethical, social, moral and personal responsibility is emphasized throughout the coursework and embedded in our students' classroom and experiential learning.
  • Global perspective. We delve into the impact of the global environment on the management field. Our courses also recognize how its practices differ in other countries and cultures.
  • Integrated Curriculum. We established principles for each major, and these become themes that are carried out and reiterated through the curriculum and any experiential experiences. It's part of our effort to help students retain what they're learning and to offer them a foundation to draw upon throughout their collegiate career and beyond.
