"I would recommend this program to anyone, whether they are looking to enter the industry, need to supplement their limited experience in their desired industry, or are already in the industry and want to further their knowledge. The professors are very approachable and responsive to the online program. The program staff was extremely helpful when I had questions throughout the program. Dr. Goodman, her staff, and the university have built an incredible program that feels personal with small cohort sizes and expands on every category of the sports industry."
