“I started the Sport Leadership Fifth Year Program after graduation and haven’t looked back since! Endicott provided me with the skills and experience needed to hit the ground running in my professional career. Having a master’s program that was fully online, accelerated and flexible, while still being highly accredited in the sports industry was a priority to me and Endicott provided that option. I was able to learn from and network with experienced professionals, allowing me to acquire various resources in the sports industry early in my career. Go Gulls!”
