Professionals in the sport industry are frequent speakers at courses in The Master's Program and are featured at special events sponsored by The Master's Program.
California urban markets define a uniquely saturated market in terms of the number of its professional sports teams, large and small colleges and universities participating in intercollegiate athletics, and the number of private and public health, fitness, and recreational sports facilities and events. As a result, the amount and pace of sport related business, marketing, and communications in the Los Angeles and Bay Areas brings constant new challenges to its professional community.
The Master's Program is fortunate to have a diverse group of professional leaders in the sport and fitness industries to draw on as resources to enrich our classes and events. This group of professionals gives our students an added advantage by keeping students connected to the pulse of current developments inside the industry and inside its leading organizations.
