Sports Management Pathway
AAS to MBA 3+1+1

The HCC Sports Management Pathway

The Sports Management Pathway will develop an understanding of the business side of the sports, fitness, and recreation industries.

Students earn their Associate of Applied Science degree in Business Management Technology from HCC and complete many of their core courses toward a bachelor's degree.

Students then transfer to The W's College of Business & Professional Studies. The Bachelor of Business Administration – Sports Management Concentration can be completed in one year. After completing the bachelor's degree, students are encouraged to apply to The W's MBA program, completed online in one year.

Note: This concentration MUST be completed face-to-face on the MUW Campus.
