Sports Management Pathway
AA to MBA 2+2+1

The Copiah-Lincoln Sports Management Pathway

The Sports Management Pathway will develop an understanding of the business side of the sports, fitness, and recreation industries.

Students earn their Associate of Arts degree from Co-Lin and complete many of their core courses toward a bachelor degree.

Students then transfer to The W's College of Business & Professional Studies. The Bachelor of Business Administration – Sports Management Concentration can be completed entirely online in two year, without having to leave your current job. After completing the bachelor degree, students are encouraged to apply to The W's MBA program, completed online in one year.
