From its recreation centers to its professional sports arenas, Chicago has a passion for sports that creates career opportunities for well-trained managers as well as athletes. To help students make the most of these opportunities in Chicago and around the country, DePaul University’s Kellstadt Graduate School of Business will launch an MBA concentration in sports management this September.
Students in the new program will complete core courses in DePaul’s part-time MBA program and then study sports leadership, management and operations, as well choose from elective courses in quality management, recruitment and selection, managing service operations, negotiation skills and project management.
Most people envision sports management only as working in the front office of a professional sports team, said Scott Young, chair of DePaul’s department of management and an avid runner who has completed 32 marathons. Our program not only will prepare students for these competitive positions but also for many other opportunities available in sports-related management. Collegiate athletics, fitness and racquet clubs, aquatic centers, golf courses and hotel and resort recreation programs all need managers. There also are opportunities with companies - such as Nike and Gatorade - that make sports-related products. This new program will combine the business and sports industry knowledge needed to succeed in these positions.
