"The University of Oregon Sports Product Management program is a true partnership between industry and academia... mentors, coaches, guest speakers and instructors from the industry have teamed up with excellent faculty from UO to offer this one-of-its kind, 18-month experience."
-Ellen Schmidt-Devlin, SPM Director
My excitement for product drove me through three unique roles at Nike, and ultimately led
to my decision to pursue a Master of Science in Sports Product Management, a first-of-its kind education at the University of Oregon. Through this program, I obtained hands-on experience with the entire product creation process and more, from innovation to business strategy to go-to-market. Additionally, it provided me with the rare opportunity to travel the globe and intern with a textile manufacturer in Thailand.

The program was entrepreneurial by design. Outside of the classroom - where we were given the tools to navigate the product creation process - we were expected to build a brand and develop actual products to bring to market. This Integrative Project added significant value to the program as students were essentially working in a startup while attending a graduate school specifically designed for that industry.
