Working in Sports is a career that is often rewarding and fun, but can take a lot of networking and “working your way up” to land in professional positions in the future. Often times, students with various majors or academic interests can find good opportunities to get started in the sports industry. Olin Business School’s undergraduate minor in the Business of Sports exposes students to opportunities and leaders within the industry, providing the academic foundation, industry connections, and experience they need to position themselves for careers in the sports industry.
