Our Story

Founded in 1976, the Robert Morris University Sport Management Program has been at the forefront of preparing students for successful careers in the business of sports.

As one of the nation's pioneering sport management programs and the first to be housed within a school of business, RMU has combined academic excellence with experiential learning to educate generations of leaders throughout the sports industry.

Today, our alumni serve in executive leadership positions across professional sports, collegiate athletics, agencies, media companies, sporting goods organizations, governing bodies, events, facilities, recreation, and entrepreneurship.

The 50th Anniversary Celebration is an opportunity to reconnect, reflect on our remarkable history, and invest in the next generation of RMU Sport Management students.
