Classroom Experiences

We help you find your path

Our curriculum and support structure is designed to help you figure out your next step. Once you’re accepted to the program, you’ll receive an academic advisor and faculty member who serve as your career mentors. Then, you’ll take classes like Introduction to Sport Management and Career and Leadership Principles that guide you through a series of career and personality assessments and field experiences to help you figure out what part of the industry you want to pursue through guided self-reflection.

Classwork that sets you apart

Sports sales

Thirty-six percent of jobs in sports are in the area of sales, but only 22 percent of programs offer a sport sales course. David Pierce’s sport-sales class prepares you to successfully launch your career by completing sales training based on his textbook, then getting hands-on experience selling for the Indy Fuel or Indianapolis Indians.

The Sports Innovation Institute gives IU Indy sport management students the opportunity to work for/with great sports businesses in a way that most students will never experience, taking education beyond the classroom in awesome ways.

Capstone course

The capstone class introduces you to how human-centered design can be used to creatively solve problems and develop innovative solutions. You’ll think differently after taking this class and set yourself apart as a creative problem solver. You may even leave with a business idea you want to pursue after graduation. Take a look at last year's projects and some of our other results.
