Course recommendations

The Sport Management course is recognised as one of the best in the country if not the best. The professors are all really good guys with many connections and interesting topics to talk about. Marketing at UMass is also pretty good except thatthe standard is much easier than that of Australia.

Personal comments

They really do cram it in. The semesters are shorter than most universities and the workload especially for level 3 and 4 subjects is extremely heavily though the standard is not that high. If you do your work you should do well.
