Accelerated Master's Degree in Sport Management

Undergraduate Students at UM that are interested in graduate study in the Sport Management program can get a head start through the Accelerated Master's Degree Program.


Apply today!

Undergraduate students who would like to apply for the Accelerated Master's Degree Program must meet the following requirements: 

  • 3.0 minimum GPA
  • 90 completed credit hours as an undergraduate

Number of credit hours a student can earn towards a graduate degree while completing their undergraduate studies: 

  • 12 credit hours

Courses undergraduate students in the Accelerated Master's Degree Program can take to earn credit towards their graduate degree: 

  • EXSC 5610: Applied Statistics
  • SPTM 5500: Issues and Trends in Sport (can be taken up to three times as long as course topic differs)
  • SJNM 5890: Sports Television Production
  • EXSC 5920: Sports Psychology

 

Remember: For students who participated in the accelerated program prior to fall of 2026, 500-level courses for graduate credit required the student to reserve the course for graduate credit.  A student who did not do so will be unable to use the 500-level course for the graduate degree and it will be considered the same as a course between 5000 and 5499 in the new course-numbering system. 

Students enrolled for the graduate credit in a 5500- to 5999-level course must complete the graduate work.  Should they decide they do not wish to do so, they need to work with the instructor, their dean's office, and the Registrar to change their enrollment to the appropriate undergraduate course number.  Otherwise, they will be graded based on the criteria for the graduate course number.
