Sports Management, MSW/M.Ed.

A dual-degree option is available for students in the MSW program who wish to also obtain a Master of Social Work and Master of Education in sport management. Students seeking a dual degree in MSW/M.Ed. in sport management will need to complete the full curriculum in the MSW program (which is 36 or 60 credits). Students will learn emerging trends in working with athletes of all levels, in clinical and counseling settings; gain knowledge and skills related to athletic program and/or venue management; and develop methodologies to work with athletes in a number of areas—for example, career counseling, life skills development, substance-abuse prevention, advocacy, recruitment and transitioning to a post-athletic career.
