Time of Study
The Sport Management emphasis within the MA in Human Performance or MS in General Human Environmental Sciences has been designed to take two academic calendar years to complete, which may coincide with graduate assistantship positions in the Athletics Department and University Recreation. The availability of summer classes may facilitate students being able to complete the academic course work in 15 months. The program is designed to be accessible to students who work full-time, with the majority of the classes being offered in the evening.
