“Studying Sport Management at UCCS completely changed my career path. I had always been a sports fan, but I didn’t know how to build a career around it. The curriculum of the UCCS Sport Management program allowed me to identify the different paths and opportunities within the sports industry, and the faculty and staff were essential in helping me reach my goals.”
