Hi… he likes the program but he’s only taken one Sport Management class so far. He definitely likes the new business curriculum much better than when it was in the HESC school since it has a lot of overlap with his Finance major. Interesting that they told you 2 years ago that it was a planned change. When we were there for decision day last April, and I asked someone in the business school about it, the person basically rolled their eyes and said it was political. We only found out about the change when we showed up for orientation.

I believe that the head of SM is going to get him connected with a graduate student this semester to do some research (my son is only in his 2nd year, although he will be a junior after the math class he is taking at home this summer). There are not a lot of honors kids in the Sport Management program (in fact, my son may be the only one) so it is nice that they are going to try to do stuff for him.
