Our review

Isenberg’s sport-management program is the discipline’s founding department, still feeding leagues, teams, and the events economy. The school’s larger business is one of the biggest credible online MBAs in the country; the small Amherst cohort gets the same faculty with proximity to Boston’s orbit at public prices.
