Sport Management

An internship program is available for qualified students which provides them with an opportunity to apply what has been learned in class to practical situations in the field. The experience gained through internships has assisted graduates in obtaining positions with sport organizations in public and media relations, advertising, sales promotion, marketing, financial management, facilities management, and administration.

Our location in New York City and the partnerships that we have built over the past 30 years gives our students the opportunity to work with some of the best-known organizations in the sports industry. Our students have interned with virtually every major and minor league franchise, athletic facility, and college athletic department in the New York area. Internships are also available outside the greater metropolitan area – we have recently placed students with the Big East Conference in Providence, the Miami Heat, Hank Haney’s International Junior Golf Academy in Hilton Head Island, and the United States Olympic Committee in Colorado Springs. Our internship program has also gone overseas, as our students have interned with the Yokohama F-Marinos of J-League Soccer, the Leicester Riders of the British Basketball League, the Leicester Tigers of the English Rugby Union, and the Si Fu Di Badminton Club in Shanghai.
