The University of Minnesota/School of Kinesiology has been named among the top 50 most affordable urban schools for sports management in the latest edition of the Sports Management Degree Guide.
The ranking was created using information from the National Center for Education Statistics’ College Navigator database on 158 institutions in the U.S. and Puerto Rico that offer four-year bachelor’s degrees in Sport and/or Fitness Administration/Management and are located in an urban setting. Large urban areas often support professional sports teams and can offer internship opportunities and possible future employment for students in the field of sport management.
