Choosing A Sports Management Program From Prescott

The subject matter does not change by location: sport marketing and sponsorship, facility and event management, sport finance, sport law and risk management, and internship hours. What changes is how you take it. Ask each college whether the program holds accreditation from the Commission on Sport Management Accreditation (COSMA), how much of the coursework is delivered online, and which components require you on campus. Credit transfer is decided by the receiving institution and genuinely varies, so request a written transfer evaluation before you enroll.
