Q: You’re in the midst of getting your masters in sports management – what are some of the most important skills you’ve learned while getting an advanced degree?
Breton: I am currently one year into the program, and it has been one of the best experiences thus far. It’s exceeded my expectations, as I’ve not only gained knowledge, but the relationships I’ve formed with my classmates has been phenomenal.
With me only working in sales throughout my career, I often didn’t have access to other areas outside of sales, and the program at Ohio University has broadened my skill set and provided me with a better understanding of these spaces.
I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to attend Ohio University’s Professional Masters in Sports Administration (PMSA) program and I would recommend it to anyone looking to broaden their skill set.
