I'm a Cal '06 grad starting the GMAT/MBA process...I presently work in consulting and plan/hope to go to a top 25 MBA program. I previously worked in the NFL (internship) and hope to work for a sports league (NFL, Pac-10) or team. Does anyone have any insight into MBA programs with a Sports Management/Marketing path? Indiana seems to be the highest rated school with a Sports Mngmt path, are there any other quality schools that offer this type of degree/education? Thanks in advance.

thanks for the comments - I knew about Oregon and SDSU, but not about Az St. - I'll investigate that further. Columbia's is NOT a joint degree, fyi - it's a ms in sports management

I don't think any of the top 25 MBA programs have good Sports Management programs. If you think about it professional sports is a very new field/industry. My advice go to a Top 25 MBA and work with your career services on finding an internship/placement in professional sports industry. When you are on campus, approach coaches or athletic directors and apply for a job to work with them over the course of your education.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
