A Legacy of Sport Management

Sport Management has been educating industry professionals since 1991. This track record-plus approximately 1,000 hours of internships in sports organizations — gives you an insider’s edge in the world of sports.

Locations in San Francisco and Orange County

Two locations, San Francisco and Orange County give you the flexibility to seek internships and jobs from Sacramento to San Diego. With our full-time faculty teaching at both campuses, you can move from one campus to another with a seamless transition.

Leaders of the Sports Industry

Our professors have unmatched experience in sports — they are TV hosts, sport broadcasters, athletic directors, and front-office executives. Because they all play active roles in sports, they bring fresh industry insight to every class they teach — and you learn by doing, not just by listening. At USF, your professors, guest speakers, staff, alumni, and fellow students give you referrals to key people for insight on career strategies, organizations of interest, and new opportunities.
