MS in Sport-Based Youth Development (Specialization)

Adelphi University’s mission in sport-based youth development is to lead the field in education, training and research, thereby enhancing the practice of sport-based youth development locally, nationally and globally.

This specialization prepares students for leadership positions in non-profit organizations, interscholastic/intercollegiate sports settings, school systems, sport and summer camps, recreational and athletic leagues, professional sports settings and the corporate social responsibility sector of for-profit organizations.

Graduate students take both core courses in their chosen master’s degree and Sport-Based Youth Development Specialization courses to become leaders in the field. This begins with understanding and using the theoretical and conceptual foundations to guide the design, implementation, administration, and evaluation of Sport-Based Youth Development programs and organizations, including the creation of both local and global programs as semester-long assignments.

Students also learn about the concepts of funding and grant writing, with an opportunity to develop and submit a grant proposal for an external organization. This type of experiential learning is the foundation of Adelphi’s academic programming, with students gaining experience through site visits, program implementation, grant writing, and program evaluation. Students also engage in an internship where they gain valuable practical experience in the field, reflect on their experiences through writing and seminars, get feedback from on-site supervisors and faculty supervisors, and build meaningful connections with practitioners and organizations.
