Ideal degree candidates will have a passion for the business and industry, rather than simply a love of sports. The strength of each applicant will be considered based on the entirety of the application. The admissions committee will look at prior college-level academic performance (GPA), GMAT or GRE scores, TOEFL score (if required), resume, recommendation letters, and statement of purpose. A bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited university is required.

To apply, students should:

Apply online through the USF Graduate School. Note: Select MBA, Sport Business from the drop down menu.
Upload a resume and Statement of Purpose as attachments.
Upload a link to a video to the ''Supplemental'' section of the application (less than 3 minutes) from YouTube, Vimeo, or another online video service. Make sure to address the following:
Name
School & Work Experience (where applicable)
Specific 3-5 year career goals upon completing the program and how this program will help achieve those goals.
IELTS - 6.5
TOEFL (iBT – 79, PBT – 550)
