Dear Satish,

Sports management is a highly competitive career to break into and an MBA is not necessarily a requirement. As such, there are a few programs that offer courses in this area, but not many. I would encourage you to do some research on the sports management industry and various career options. Perhaps try to speak with someone who currently works in the industry?

Good luck,
Lisa
