Master of Education
The Master of Education in Recreation and Sport Management prepares students to enter the workforce in entry-level administrative positions in college athletics departments. However, many of the skills and knowledge elements from the M.Ed. transfer to other areas of recreation and sport management. The M.Ed. provides students with the advanced knowledge and skills needed to work in a variety of college athletics settings, but also community recreation, university recreation and professional sports settings, including sport marketing, administration and facility management. A minimum of 36 credit hours is required for the M.Ed. degree.
