The Global Sport Leadership Doctoral Program cultivates future leaders in the sports industry. Delivered online, this cohort-based curriculum immerses participants in diverse challenges across sports management, covering both internal and external operations, along with research and data analysis. Instead of a conventional dissertation, the program culminates with a Doctoral Capstone Project. This comprehensive assessment allows students to synthesize all knowledge acquired during their studies into a cohesive final work.
 The following are required for admission into the Ed.D. in Global Sport Leadership:
A personal essay describing how this program can advance your career.
Resume.
At least three letters of recommendation (at least two of which should be from previous professors or if unavailable, supervisors or peers who can attest to the applicant’s ability to complete doctoral work) and a letter of support from the current employer. These letters should be submitted through the ETSU application system.
Master’s degree in sport or related discipline with a minimum GPA of 3.0 on a scale of 4.0.
At least 3 years of professional experience in collegiate, professions, or high school athletics. Exceptional applicants with less experience may be considered based on strengths of prior academic performance, the personal essay, and the letter of support from the current employer.
