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.
This page lists 4 schools within 223 miles, closest group first, then ordered by BOC Score with the highest at the top. 4 of them carry a score.
Scores come from IPEDS (2024) and the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard. Earnings are for all graduates of a school, not one program, so treat them as a signal about the institution rather than about this subject. Sponsored listings are paid placements and are labelled as such; they are separate from this ranking and never change it. Read the full methodology.
