American University's Master of Science in Sports Analytics and Management program prepares mid-career professionals and career changers for a management career in sports. This master is unique among programs of its kind in its focus on developing expertise in the analytics, new technologies and social media developments that are transforming the $500 billion world of sports.

This degree will prepare you for management roles across the sports industry, an enterprise that continues to experience steady growth. You will be prepared for emerging management opportunities in sports areas requiring an understanding of analytics and new technologies, including social media, interactive spectatorship, mobile technology, fantasy sports, e-sports gaming, performance data analytics, and virtual reality.
