Sure, Texas has several universities with exceptional sports management programs that you might want to consider.
At the top of the list is the University of Texas at Austin, known for its College of Education's Department of Kinesiology and Health Education, which offers a Sports Management program. As one of the leading sports management programs in the country, it combines business-focused coursework, hands-on industry experience, and connections with Austin's thriving sports scene.
Another strong choice is Texas A&M University in College Station. Their sport management program is part of the Department of Health and Kinesiology. They provide students with critical education in the areas of sport business, coaching leadership, athletic administration, and community recreation.
Then there's Baylor University in Waco. Baylor’s Sports, Sponsorship & Sales (S3) program is nationally recognized within academia and the industry for its emphasis on the preparation for a career in sport, entertainment, sales, or sponsorship management. Students in the S3 program complete coursework in marketing analytics and data-driven sales strategies, participate in internships at top sports entities, and engage in consulting projects with industry leaders.
These programs are all recognized for their rigorous academics, strong industry connections, and opportunities for students to gain real-world experience.
