Doctoral Program in Sport Administration
Sport AdministrationDoctoral Program at UofLSport Management is a growing academic discipline. The Ph.D. is forsomeone wishing to pursue a career as a college or university facultymember in Sport Management.A Ph.D. program is by nature a research-oriented degree wherestudents are actively engaged in research teams with faculty membersand other doctoral students. Submitting proposals for presentations atnational and international conferences as well as writing for publicationis encouraged and expected.While there is no typical Ph.D. student, candidates with previous workexperience in the sport industry as well as a clear research focus arepreferred. Sport industry experience is extremely helpful for SportManagement faculty members since our discipline is very hands-onand the students we teach will be preparing for jobs in the industry. Aclear research focus is useful in matching students with advisors andhelping students prepare for a future dissertation topic. While we do notexpect doctoral students to begin the program knowing theirdissertation topic, having an intended research focus helps streamlinea student’s research process while enrolled in the program.The SPAD Ph.D. program at the University of Louisville has attractedstudents from around the world including the United States, Canada,South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Sweden to study withinternationally recognized faculty. Faculty serve on multiple editorialboards, have authored or co-authored eight sport managementtextbooks, and have a long history of engaging Ph.D. students inresearch.When looking for prospective faculty members, employers will look atthe faculty members the student has worked with, the quality of workcoming out of the degree granting institution, and success of previousgraduates. The SPAD program here at UofL clearly meets all theserequirements.We are proud to say every student who graduated from our program isemployed in an appropriate academic or industry position. The jobmarket is extremely competitive and students typically begin applyingfor jobs in the fall of their third year. Students who take advantage ofthe research, teaching, and service opportunities available to themwhile enrolled in the program have been very successful, bothacademically and professionally.
