New Interdisciplinary M.S. in Sport Venue & Event Management Available

Syracuse University is now offering a new interdisciplinary Master of Science degree in Sport Venue and Event Management. Unlike any other master’s program, this 36-credit hour graduate degree is focused on educational knowledge and skill development, leveraging experiential opportunities in the SU Carrier Dome, the only multi-purpose domed sports facility on a college campus. Master’s students will utilize this ‘living laboratory’ to gain real-world experience managing facilities and multi-faceted events in sports and entertainment.

This diversified degree will be housed in the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics and will welcome its first class in Fall 2012. The program includes faculty from the Falk College’s Department of Sport Management, as well as SU’s School of Information Studies (iSchool), S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, and the Martin J. Whitman School of Management.

The career outlook in the field of facility and event management is strong, and there is a growing need for professionals trained specifically in this area.

Information sessions for this program are planned for February 15 (Lubin House, NYC) and March 3 (Syracuse University).

Requirements for applying: GRE scores, TOEFL scores (for international students), undergraduate transcript(s), three recommendations, a resume and a personal statement.
