Global Programs
Creating and analyzing effective digital media is central to the marketing of sports by broadcasters, organizations, and brands.
The vast majority of sport revenue is generated via technology in the form of tickets sold online, event broadcasts & sponsorship rights, and digital products & content, increasingly consumed on mobile devices. The future success of the sport business professional rests in the minds and hands of those best able to navigate the new sporting environment.
At the undergraduate level, the Center for Sales Strategy in Sports and Entertainment (S3E) prepares students to launch careers with (a) the sales and customer analytics tools to efficiently connect and communicate with today's ticket buyers, (b) the knowledge of digital media products and analytics to present and track effective brand activation strategies for partners, and (c) the data strategy and actionable insights to guide teams, broadcasters, and partners to maximize revenue.
Graduate Programs. In exclusive partnership with Loughborough University in London, we offer selected Baylor S3E graduates the opportunity to pursue a Masters in Sport Digital & Media Technologies. Individuals accepted into the MSC program in London complete a year's studies (eight course modules), including potential internships with media companies and agencies associated with the marketing of sport in the Premier League.
Requirements. To be selected for the MSC program at Loughborough University London in Sport Digital & Media Technologies, students must (a) complete the S3E Marketing major at Baylor University in the Analytics track, (b) obtain a minimum cumulative 3.50 GPA, (c) gain the recommendation of the Baylor S3E faculty members, and (d) complete the admissions process with Loughborough.
Pending approval, the top two students selected from the Baylor S3E program will be granted the tuition rate afforded to UK/EU members rather than the fees charged to USA and other international applicants.
