Talk to a Sports Product Management Student
What's it like to be a Duck?
Choosing a master's program is a major decision. You are not just selecting a degree; you are choosing your community, your network, and your launchpad into the sports and outdoor product industry. One of the best ways to determine whether the MS in Sports Product Management program is the right fit for you is to speak with someone who is experiencing it right now. Our ambassadors are current students within the program. They understand the curriculum, pace, hands-on product work, team dynamics, and industry access that define the Sports Product Management experience in Portland. They are here to share their perspective and answer your questions candidly. We invite you to reach out to an ambassador today by reviewing their profile and sending them a message.
