Why Study Sports Marketing
Accreditation
	Many employers will only hire graduates from accredited universities and Duquesne's A.J. Palumbo School of Business and John F. Donahue Graduate School of Business are among an elite 15 percent of business schools worldwide that meet the rigorous academic standards necessary to earn accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).

Job Outlook
	Employment of advertising, marketing, promotions, public relations, and sales managers is expected to increase faster than the average for all occupations through 2014, spurred by intense domestic and global competition in products and services offered to consumers. However, projected employment growth varies by industry.

Location
	Duquesne's proximity to the hub of downtown Pittsburgh provides students with a competitive edge due to the many professional and semi-professional/minor league teams within the Pittsburgh area.

Internships
	Students majoring in sports marketing are able to gain professional experience through internships with local teams such as the Pittsburgh Pirates, Washington Wild Things, Pittsburgh Penguins and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
