Master of Science in Sports Facilities Management

Prepare yourself for a position of management and leadership in the growing sports industry.

Graduates of the Master of Science in Sports Facilities Management program at Franklin Pierce University are prepared to effectively manage in a wide array of sports-related settings including intercollegiate athletics, amateur and professional sports, and sports marketing firms.

Students can focus on the management of sports facilities or the management of sports merchandising. Both areas have seen tremendous growth and need well-qualified professional managers.

The program is enhanced by access to the outstanding athletic and recreation facilities on the university's main campus in Rindge, New Hampshire and the guidance of an advisory board with high-level representatives from the Boston Red Sox, the New Hampshire International Speedway, other sports venues, business and higher education. Each student also completes an internship that may last from three months to a year. Advisory board members assist in providing internship sites and mentoring students throughout the program.

The Master of Science in Sports Facilities Management program is designed to meet the needs of working adults. Students meet one weekend each term on the Franklin Pierce University Rindge Campus during the 18-month program. This provides access to the university's Pappas Field, one of the most modern on-campus baseball facilities in the Northeast, as well as the Northfields Activity Center, a 72,000-square-foot exercise and recreation facility. The remainder of the program is completed online.

The MBA in Human Resource Management program is designed to meet the needs of working adults. Students can enroll year-round and classes are offered in the evenings.
