Starting Master's in Sports Admin in Jan.
How has some of y'alls experience been? This program says, Every semester, you will complete two 8 week courses. Is this a typical set up?
Any advice is welcome.

I'm literally only doing it because it's been a dream of mine to hold a Master's degree. Zero plan in any administration position, ever.

Does anyone have their education-related? I'm tossing around another idea instead of Sports Admin....thinking it might benefit me more in the classroom...

Go for your principals/ EdAdmin route. You can always be an AD with that. You think you will never go into admin, but when retirement gets closer, you want options.

With your Sped background, Sped director is a higher paying less stress avenue. Ed admin will get you there.

Also, instead of online, I'm considering the face to face option. One night a week. I'm more of a hands on type of person and think it will keep me a little more accountable.
I've done all online before but it's been awhile. How has y'alls information processing been with strictly online?

No. If I remember this is resume, transcripts, letters of recommendation,.......stuff like that. Call them and they will be helpful.

I have Master's in Urban Education, but majority of my course work dealt with school administration, curriculum, and policies. I think I only had a couple of courses that actually dealt with Urban or inner city school curriculum. I completed mine in 1 calendar year. I was in the classroom and went in the summer. If you have a chance to go in the summer do it, the professors are more laid back and they don't want to be there no more than you want to be.

Make sure whatever program that you are looking into can accommodate your schedule. I went in the evenings and at the time I was not teaching yet, I was a 35 year old GA at the local institution trying to juggle football, family, life and my class schedule. Like I said earlier make sure the program is geared towards working adults and you should be fine. Majority of the classes will be late afternoon, basically after 5pm.
