The knowledge and skills mastered in the online Master of Science in Sports Leadership will expand the leadership and ethical tool set among a distinguished group of sports industry managers. The MSSL provides a comprehensive 36-credit curriculum that addresses sports leadership from a management perspective and emphasizes the application of ethics and leadership in the contemporary business environment.
