Seattle Thunderbirds | Alumnus

"I chose the program at Gonzaga because I knew Gonzaga was a great institution that provided quality education. My degree has helped me to reach positions in my career that I truly don't believe I could have earned or been effective in, if I did not earn my degree."

Coach | Alumna

"I would recommend this degree program for anyone who is looking for a future career in sports. You learn from A to Z what it takes to work in the field of sports, it gives you so many avenues to take. If you have an interest in sports and you want to work in sports, without a doubt this is the program you want."

MASAA | New York Mets

"I really attribute so much of my ability to make a move to the New York Mets to this program. I think this program has done a really great job of giving us a baseline of all of the different issues that you might encounter as a member of a sports organization."

Ken Halpin

Athletic Director | Alumnus

"My degree has absolutely helped me. First and foremost, it opened necessary doors to get me that very first job in athletics. If I didn't get that first one, none of these others would have happened. I've received several promotions since getting the degree. Master's degrees in sport are becoming more and more popular. Gonzaga's program has the benefit of having entered the industry early and placing many successful graduates into the industry."

Seattle Storm | Alumna

"My master's degree from Gonzaga jump-started my career in a way that would have taken at least twice as long to accomplish without it. I gained valuable experience both in and out of the virtual classroom that has been instrumental to my professional and personal development. I was able to make connections with classmates and professors that have extended my professional network tenfold and boosted my influence in the community."
