Study Abroad Opportunities
Why Study Sport Management Abroad?
Students who study abroad stand out to employers in the sport business industry:
- Experience overseas can help students build cross-cultural knowledge and skills needed to succeed in today's fast changing global economy and job market.
- Studying abroad helps students to demonstrate many qualities that employers look for including independence and initiative, strong communication skills, teamwork, flexibility and adaptability, and cultural sensitivity.
Flexible Study Abroad Options
Our program offers two flexible options to fit your academic and personal goals:
Short-term Faculty-led Programs:
- These consist of 10–12 days of international travel, guided by two Sport Management faculty members and a small group of students in the major.
- Program Features:
- Expert industry panels
- Behind-the-scenes tours of stadiums and Olympic venues
- Immersive cultural experiences designed to enhance students’ understanding of global sport operations
Semester Long Programs:
- Semester-long study abroad programs offer immersive learning and cultural engagement at one of our University’s partner institutions in locations such as Australia, Ireland, and Italy. For more information on the semester long study abroad programs and Universities.
Students may choose either option—or both—to enrich their education and prepare for dynamic careers in the global sport business industry.
The advising staff in the Kearney International Center works with students and their academic advisors during the application process to ensure that the classes taken abroad will contribute to the degree at Minnesota State Mankato. The study abroad programs listed below have been carefully selected to complement the Sport Management program. Students can choose to complete their entire minor in one semester, take major requirements, fulfill electives, or even arrange an internship abroad.
