- With a unique student demographic, 54% of whom come from the sports industry and 79% of whom have 5+ years of work experience, the program focuses on several key dimensions including:
- Ensuring we have faculty to get “it”

- Giving students access to a network that is equally important and teaching them how to network
- Giving students more than a first-class education by making them members of a supportive community
