"The program provided me with the tools to approach any job with confidence. I was attracted to Seattle University by the connection to the athletic department in the graduate assistant role, and the additional course work in leadership. As far as I am concerned, without my master's degree from Seattle University, I would not be where I am."

It showed me what opportunities were available all the way from recreational to professional sports, provided a wide range of options when it came to practical experience, and gave me a wide network of athletics professionals to stay in touch with throughout my career."

Alli Young (Director of Operations, Northwest Athletic Conference (NWAC))

"The program allowed me to work within a small cohort of graduate students. I was able to work closely with my advisors and professors, and through their existing connections in the Seattle area I landed an internship during grad school through which I was ultimately hired as an employee."
