Hi,

Do we at Stanford University currently have this Undergraduate Major, like the following ....(like University of Michigan has)?

If not, given that Sports is soon to be a "Trillion Dollar Industry", this would be a great major to explicitly add to our Undergrad Majors:
for Undergrads of all types, and also it might attract Great Student Athletes to come to Stanford University.

***********

Just to add:

Looks like Unversity of Michigan offers both:

• Bachelors Degree (Undergraduate Major)
• Masters Degree

In this SportsManagement Major

...do we at Stanford have this Undergraduate Major of 'Sports Management' ?
If not, any idea why not ? (Seems like a relevant major given that Worldwide Sports is a Trillion Dollar Industry).

Because faculty ultimately drive and determine which majors a school/department will offer and that's not been an identified academic priority.  Besides that and financial support, an academic major also requires assigned faculty and approved curriculum and I am guessing we have few faculty specializing in sports management.

That said, who knows - it wouldn't surprise me at all to see sports management degree/certificate programs established in the not-too-distant future.

Hi PalmTree,

1. Thanks for the post.

2. I agree, hopefully we will see something like this in the very near future.

3. Seems like if there were Big Time High-School Student-Athletes, who were interested in finding a University where they could 'Play their Sport' & 'Get a Degree in Sports Management', it might benefit a University to have that as an Undergrad Major, possibly with the option to also get a Masters in it, especially in this new era of NIL, SportsMarketing, Private Equity, and Young Student-Athletes wanting to work in Front-Offices of Pro Franchises, after they obtained their Undergrad Degree , etc.

4. Wouldnt want that to be the difference between a 3.9 GPA 4star QB choosing University of Michigan over Stanford.
