Current Students

Students enrolled in UNC Charlotte’s MBA in Sports Marketing and Management (MBAS) program have backgrounds and interests that are as wide-ranging and varied as the world of sports itself.

Limited to no more than 15 new students each year, the student body is a mix of newcomers straight out of undergraduate school, early-career sports employees looking for a leg up in the industry, and professionals seeking to transition into a new career.

Although many of the MBAS students earn undergraduate degrees in a business discipline, others come to the program with degrees in physical education/sports management, public relations, psychology, history, political science, international relations, and so on. More than half of the students come from out-of-state and several are from out of the country.

Students have interests in professional/team sports, motorsports, or individual sports and event management, in roughly equal proportions.
