Master's Program in Athletic Administration

Overview

This program combines the personal touch of high-intensity residential experiences with the “anytime, anyplace” convenience and ease of access of an online education enabled by the latest information technology.

The Ohio University master's program in Athletic Administration is a lock-step program lasting 24 months. As a participant, you'll begin the program together with your peers and work collectively as a learning community throughout the program. Likewise, there is a faculty team that works with you throughout the entire program. You’ll form a network that will support you in your learning efforts, advise you on work issues, and continue even after you receive your degree.

There are three residencies on the Ohio University campus during the program. The first is a one-week orientation residency that kicks off the program. All three residencies are held in June.

Residencies are intense face-to-face learning experiences with your fellow participants and faculty. Be prepared: we’ll work long hours to maximize the benefits of our time together.

During the residencies, we focus on start-up of courses, do learning assessments, and work on some skill areas that are best learned in a face-to-face environment. Residencies also give us an opportunity to “get to know each other” in a way that is not as possible in a purely online learning format.

Between residencies, you will collaborate with your fellow participants and with the faculty on the Ohio University Without Boundaries (OUWB) intranet. You will also participate in interactive, multimedia learning modules that will help you develop a deep understanding of the content and help you apply that content in the work setting.

Most learning modules will use a unique, challenge-based format that engages you with an applied situation before you even start learning the content. You will re-address the challenge at the end of the module to ensure that you have mastered the content and can apply it in the workplace. We have found that the challenge-based learning format gets you more engaged with your learning more rapidly. Further, since you learn the required content in the context of its use, you develop an active using knowledge that can more readily be recalled and used in the workplace. Besides, it is simply more fun to learn by being challenged than it is to try to memorize a dry set of facts!
