Capstone Course:
Students select a capstone course to complete the MS in Sport Business. As best fits their individualized program, they choose from ³§¸é²ÑÌý5285 Graduate Internship in Sport and Recreation, ³§°Õ±á²ÑÌý9995 Master's Project and ³§°Õ±á²ÑÌý9996 Master's Thesis:
- ³§¸é²ÑÌý5285 utilizes a field placement with emphasis on acquisition and application of practical skills. The student completes a total of 180 contact hours in cooperation with an agency and under supervision of both the University internship coordinator and the agency-designated supervisor.
- ³§°Õ±á²ÑÌý9995 is an option for students who do not need to undertake an internship.

Instead, such students can complete a project related to their specific field of interest.
- ³§°Õ±á²ÑÌý9996 is also offered as an option for any student who may opt to write a thesis, for example, in anticipation of pursuit of a doctoral degree.
