A professional graduate degree is an important advantage in the sport industry. The CSL is built to ensure our students transition into meaningful full-time employment upon graduation.

Designed for you

CSL students:

  • Earn a nationally-recognized degree in one year, which is half the time of most other programs.
  • Form professional networks with other students and CSL industry alumni.
  • Leave with a full year of work experience.
  • Take ownership of real-world initiatives and hands-on projects in the community.

Take the next step.
