The program is intended for students who plan to transfer to another college or university, MVCC added.

Regional transfer options include SUNY Cortland, SUNY Canton, SUNY Brockport, SUNY Fredonia, Cazenovia College, and St. John Fisher College.

Career opportunities include sports event manager, personal agent, athletic director, or an executive in businesses that support professional and amateur sports, MVCC contends. Other possibilities include roles at fitness centers, recreation centers, and ice arenas, as well as sporting goods sales and marketing.

The school says it designed the curriculum to help graduates “be successful” in any sports management or business-related transfer program, “regardless of the transfer school chosen.”

Coursework can include economics and accounting, along with a “basis in various areas” of general education and liberal arts.

MVCC considers the program a “perfect fit” with its Jorgensen Athletic and Events Center, along with the school’s Field House and Fitness Center, which it contends will allow students to “gain hands-on experience in a real-world setting,” and an athletic department that offers 19 intercollegiate sports.
