Career Preparation

Sport Management students at Ithaca College benefit from a variety of on- and off-campus experiences. While taking coursework, many choose to volunteer their time locally in sport marketing and event operations in the athletic departments on campus as well as at Cornell University, Syracuse ISP, and with local franchises like the Binghamton Mets and Binghamton Senators. Through our partnerships with these institutions, students gain valuable knowledge of how the field operates outside the classroom.

And there are limitless opportunities to become involved in the sport management profession through internships—both in Ithaca, NY, and far beyond.
