Master's Program in Athletic Administration

Technology Specs

The online portion of the master's program in Athletic Administration involves more than just e-mail. You will collaborate online with your team members and faculty using the Ohio University Without Boundaries (OUWB) intranet, a collection of Web-based databases that provide an asynchronous learning environment that allows you to complete your coursework at a time that is convenient to your schedule. Technology will supplement and enrich personal contacts, not replace them.

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.

You must have daily access to a computer in order to participate in the master's program in Athletic Administration. It is recommended that you have your own personal computer or a computer to which you have unlimited access.

During the residencies, each student will be assigned a laptop computer and provided with access to a printer. All computers will be connected to the OUWB wireless network.

I recently got promoted to the athletic director position at my school. While going through the preparation for the promotion, I realized I needed more professional development. This program was perfect for me.
