The Sports Product Management program has a reputation for producing exceptional graduates who thrive in leadership roles in the sports and outdoor product industry.
96% of our alumni work around the world in large and small brands, including Nike, adidas, Under Armour, New Balance, On Running, Hoka, and Specialized, as well as SmithOptics, Hydroflask, and Outdoor Research. The program has an active alumni association, and graduates regularly give back through mentoring, guest speaking, and offering jobs and internships.
Your time in the program may be over, but that doesn't mean our support for you is over. We are always here for you.
In addition to the Sports Product Management Alumni Network, below are resources and information available to help you—our alumni—stay connected, network, and pursue the lifelong learning that helps propel success.
