GAE 1-5

The graduate assistantship assignment was a very fun experience for me, it gave me a different idea of things that I could do once I graduate with my undergraduate degree. It really opened my eyes to a different at somethings that could get me on the path to a great career.
1) University of Florida ( Intramural Sports Grad Assistantship)
The Department of Recreational Sports awards graduate assistantships in Athletic Training, Group Fitness, Strength & Conditioning, Intramural Sports, Sport Clubs, Marketing/Public Relations, Outdoor Recreation and Facilities. Current openings and information regarding the application process can be found below.I find this opportunity interesting because this assistantship is something I have thought about getting into and trying out.
2) University of Miami ( Sports Admin. Gradute Program)
The sports industry has been expanding rapidly, both in spectators and participants. As the industry grows, the need for administrators with specialized training becomes more complex and important. Sport Administration is an attractive field for young professionals. A degree in Sport Administration is widely recognized by industry professionals and gives graduates an important advantage when seeking employment. The University of Miami program in Sport Administration prepares individuals for a career in this field according to their personal and professional goals. I found this graduate program interesting because of the location and the job opportunities available after the program is completed. This program has a lot of different fields I could see myself enjoying as a career.
3) Seattle University ( Sports Information Graduate Asst.)
These “hands-on” positions in the Seattle University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics encourage leadership, develop communication and managerial skills, and establish an important professional network. I felt like this was a different aspect of the sports admin side to really help out with networking.
4) Belmont University (Graduate Teaching Assistanship)
The Master of Sport Administration program at Belmont University has established relationships with many sport organizations in the Nashville area to provide experiential learning opportunities for our students. The internship requirement can be fulfilled across multiple semesters allowing for a variety of experiences within the sport industry. Each credit hour of internship credit translates into 10 work hours per week. As the network of Belmont MSA graduates spreads across the sport workplace, the career and internship posibilities expand for our sport management alums.This was and interesting graduate program to me because of the many possibilities to obtain a position in the sports management field.
5) University Of Southern Mississippi ( Coaching Sport Education)
Program development is oriented toward supply and demand in the professional job market and academic disciplinary definition. Flexibility of program requirements allows for academic fulfillment of individual career interests. This Program is interesting because it deals with coaching, and that is really the main thing I wanted to focus on when I think in long term for my career.
