Insight into Academia, a publication that covers innovation in higher education, discussed Simmons’ new graduate programs: the MS in Management: Business and Leadership in Women’s Sports Concentration and the Graduate Certificate in Women’s Sports Business.
According to Insight into Academia, “Simmons, a historically women-focused institution, is positioning the new programs as a training pipeline into a field that has often been run by people without formal preparation specific to it. The Master of Science in Management concentration gives students a foundation in core business and leadership principles, while tailoring coursework to the particulars of the women’s sports industry, including revenue generation and growth strategy. The related certificate is a four-course program aimed at working professionals, covering management, marketing, sponsorship, and finance through case studies drawn from women’s sports.”
