The current class has been exceptionally busy since arriving on campus in January.  In addition to a full course load of five classes, the students have been getting valuable sports industry experience in the San Diego market and beyond.

IN THE CLASSROOM 

The current class is enrolled in the following MBA courses, a foundation on which the rest of the year's curriculum will build.

As the semester ramps up, students have been taking turns teaching lectures themselves, covering topics like sports betting, contracts, sponsorships, and personality assessment training. The class started their book reviews last month with a diverse selection of sports and sports business titles.  CLICK HERE for more on each student’s chosen work.

IN THE COMMUNITY

Locally, students supported the San Diego Sports Association at their 73rd Annual Salute to the Champions event. During the event, #SMBA20 students had the opportunity to meet influential San Diego sports icons including Olympic gold medalist Shaun White.

Additionally, #SMBA20 students have worked every home game for the San Diego Legion of Major League Rugby (MLR).

TOUR OF PETCO PARK

The #SMBA20 cohort met in front of Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres, early last week and were greeted by alumni of the program, Roberto Castro. Petco Park, or “our home away from home” as Roberto and his team affectionately call it, hosts over two hundred events throughout the year, including 81 Padres games, concerts and other sporting events. The park and it’s events in large part owe their successes to Roberto, Manager of Event Operations, and his team.
