Be a Sports Industry MVP

Savvy business pros who know how to maximize revenue streams are as valuable to a sports organization as the gifted athletes on the field. Honing that specialized skill is the #1 focus of this unique M.B.A. major.

Our M.B.A. in Sport Revenue Generation is a leading-edge program – literally one of its kind in sports management education. No other curriculum so closely mirrors the industry’s growing demand for professionals dedicated to revenue enhancement: it focuses specifically on knowledge, skills and tactics to generate revenue.

Study how to maximize sales through sponsorship deals, organize fundraising, create new income streams through emerging technologies and far more to become a valued player on collegiate or professional management teams.

“Sometimes, students are surprised to hear about the challenges they will face. I try to illuminate these issues and help students see how they can bridge the gap as the sports managers of the future.”

Peter S. Finley, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Sport Management
