For three decades, Texas A&M University has been equipping Ph.D. candidates to thrive in sports scholarship. Our Kinesiology Ph.D. program features a Sport Management specialization, where professors and students explore how sports management influences people, institutions, and societies at local and international levels.
Through diverse theoretical frameworks, research methodologies, and practical applications, we immerse graduate students in multiple viewpoints and approaches. We then prepare them to utilize this knowledge to address key research questions in the field of sport management.
