Student Quotes

"The tools I learned in Mayville State's Sport Management program have become invaluable in my profession. The small classrooms made for a fun and active learning environment. Professors that genuinely cared about the success of each student made the motivation to learn an easy one. When a person works in the recreation profession, one must have a wide knowledge of nearly every sport. I have implemented a program for almost every sport imaginable and I was only able to do this because of the strong background I received at MSU." - Brian Barnes, Sport Management graduate
