"When I was looking to see which master's program would work best for me, Endicott was the clear winner. The structure of the classes was great鈥攁 short time frame to move through the program, but also long enough to get everything I needed out of each class. I knew the direction I wanted when I started taking classes, but the professors and classes really helped me narrow down what I wanted to do full time, and prepared me for working in the sport industry today.鈥"
