The Master in the Study of Law with Sports Emphasis is a one-year graduate program that is specifically designed to provide aspiring sports agents with the legal foundation and practical knowledge needed in this ever-changing industry. With the advent of Name, Image and Likeness rights for college and high school athletes, the sports agent industry is experiencing a boom that has never been seen before.
