Hi {{First Name}},
You've spent the last several weeks learning about our program — the rankings, the faculty, the funding options, the careers our graduates build. I want to make sure nothing is standing between you and the application you haven't submitted yet.
Application Deadlines
April 1 — Priority deadline for graduate assistantship consideration (stipend + in-state tuition)
July 15 — General admission deadline — all materials must be received
International students: all deadlines are 30 days earlier.
A quick recap of why the MSEM is the right move:
- #9 in the world — SportBusiness 2025 Postgraduate Course Rankings
- Faculty who led NFL, NBA, and major entertainment organizations — in your classroom
- Hands-on access to Colonial Life Arena, Williams-Brice Stadium, AEG, Live Nation, Learfield
- Funding available — assistantships, fellowships, and MBA fellowships for dual-degree candidates
- 30 students admitted per year — the cohort that defines your network for decades
- GRE/GMAT waiver available — 3.2+ GPA or relevant work experience qualifies
Let's talk before the deadline.
I set aside time each week specifically to speak with prospective students. A 15-minute call is all it takes to answer any remaining questions and confirm whether the MSEM is the right fit for you.
