Savvy business pros who know how to maximize revenue streams are as valuable to a sports organization as the gifted athletes on the field. Honing that specialized skill is the #1 focus of this unique M.B.A. major.

Nova Southeastern University's M.B.A. in Sport Revenue Generation is a leading-edge program—literally one of its kind in sports management education. No other curriculum so closely mirrors the industry’s growing demand for professionals dedicated to revenue enhancement: it focuses specifically on knowledge, skills, and tactics to generate revenue.

Study how to maximize sales through sponsorship deals, organize fundraising, create new income streams through emerging technologies, and far more to become a valued player on collegiate or professional management teams.
