Overview

The program is designed to be as flexible as possible, which allows you to complete it on your timetable.

The Sport Management program of University of Wisconsin-Parkside is designed to prepare you for success in a wide variety of careers at all levels of the industry including professional, college, high school, nonprofit, and amateur sports.

The 33-credit program was explicitly designed to meet the needs of today’s students. Our classes are offered mainly at night. But we also have day, online, and distance classes to ensure flexibility as you attempt to balance personal and professional goals and needs. You can begin any semester that is convenient for you - no need to wait for fall or a cohort to fill up.

Unlike many sport management programs, virtually the entire UW-Parkside MSSM program is taught by full-time faculty with decades of combined industry experience. A combination of small class sizes and direct access to instructors creates an excellent environment for your success.

The UW-Parkside MSSM program combines all of the aforementioned benefits with an affordability that is virtually unmatched in the Midwest. The cost per credit for completing the MSSM program is substantially lower than our regional competitors, which allows you to pursue your career goals at a much lower overall cost.
