What is unique about the B-W Sport Management program?
The B-W program (originally Sports, Dance and Arts) is approximately 20 years old. The first director, Professor June Baughman, was one of the original founders of the North American Society for Sports Management. Our geographical location gives us an edge over other programs. We are minutes away from three major professional sport organizations, as well as a host of minor league teams and sporting venues. Our graduates are well represented throughout the greater Cleveland area and across the nation.
