"Now, it is never to early to start making connections. The worst that can happen is the company tells you to apply at a later date."

MBA/M.S or Dual Degree??

Posted on August 31, 2009 at 9:49am 3 Comments

Well, I am in my senior year of the Sport Management Program at West Virginia University and should be graduating in May. I am entering a dilemma on whether to go to graduate school or not, my main influence being that I have yet to add anything more credible than local recreation and some WVU athletic volunteering experiences to my resume. I have applied for many internships with local professional teams and have yet to hear anything back, so I feel like I need to make my self more marketable… Continue

Hey Nick....sorry I've been out of town so it took me a little bit to get back to you. Like every program, there were some things that I really enjoyed about WVU and some that I didn't. For me, the most valuable experiences and lessons were learned through my GA job. I learned waaaaaaaaaay more by working every day than I did in the classroom there. If you can get yourself hooked up with a good GA position, then I think you'll really have a good experience.
