At Drexel University's Goodwin College of Professional Management, you can complete your Master of Science degree online, receiving the same quality of instruction as the traditional degree track. The department's mission is to teach sports administrators and managers how to better understand the connection between nutrition, psychology, management skills, and athletics at a level beyond the baccalaureate level. The foundation courses cover key concepts like law, marketing, public relations, economics, and more. A week-long summer residency on the Drexel campus in Philadelphia is encouraged but not required. The Drexel program prepares the graduate for a career in the professional or collegiate sports industry, as well as other fields like health and fitness, corporate recreation, or sports agencies.
