Framingham State University will offer a bachelor’s degree in sports management starting in the fall semester.
“FSU is surrounded by major professional sports franchises, hundreds of colleges with NCAA athletic programs, and burgeoning fantasy and sports betting industries in
Massachusetts,” business professor Michael Harrison said in a Wednesday press release from the school. “There will be no shortage of job opportunities for students specializing in sports management.”
The university already offers a concentration in sports management as part of its business management program.
FSU alumni are working for the Boston Red Sox, New England Revolution, and Boston radio station 98.5 The Sports Hub, according to the press release.
