Created with Industry Intro

Created with Industry

The University of Oregon’s master of science in sports product management was born in 2012 when cofounders Ellen Schmidt-Devlin and Roger Best asked the industry, “What do you want from a university?” They told us they wanted students prepared with knowledge of the entire 18-month product creation process.

The Sports Product Management Program is a collaboration between the University of Oregon’s academic community and the global sports product industry. We teach the business of product creation. Each cohort is an elite group of students who learn about the complete product life cycle from both industry and academia’s finest talent, while also growing the key teamwork and leadership skills necessary for success in the industry.

We are a world-class master’s program with the industry’s top talent educating and advising future global leaders in the sports and outdoor product industry. Instructors and guest speakers bring a wealth of real-world experience to the classroom.
