The purpose of this study was to explore the possible effects gender disparities in college degree programs have on the development of female students in sports management programs. There has been an immense amount of research conducted on female students in male dominated fields of study such as STEM programs, but not enough research done on other programs including sports management. Data was collected using qualitative methods, specifically a phenomenological study. Interviews were used to allowed female students the platform to share their experiences being in the program, and explored the opportunities, misconceptions, perceived gender bias behaviors and faculty influence on female participants in this field of study. To get a holistic understanding of how female students develop in sports management degree programs, participants who were selected in this study were both undergraduate students and alumni from multiple institutions. This study highlighted several key information surrounding classroom experience, career preparedness, gender inequality, faculty ratio and other themes that were of significance in understanding some challenges that participants faced. Though participants recognized that their programs were extremely male populated (in both students and professors), experiences varied. Some participants found the gender ratio to be of no significance in how well they were able to succeed in their programs as well as form healthy relationships with peers, professors, and networking opportunities. These participants shared their experience being equal to their male peers and had no problem developing academically and professionally. Other participants felt that being one of a few female students in their sports management program put them at a disadvantage as they felt insecure, had to work harder than their male classmates, had no connection with their professors and peers, and experienced some gender bias behavior in both the classroom and during professional development opportunities. Furth more, despite differing opinions, all participants were able to recognize why some female students may be hesitant to enter the program which is contributing to low enrollment. Most participants mentioned that because sports have a reputation of being masculine and more accepting of men, female students may be less inclined to want to purse the degree program. Few alumni mentioned that their inability to land a career in the sports industry has made them feel that they made a mistake in earning their degree in Sports Management. Both viewpoints that were concluded from this study are important in understanding the challenges that female students undergo while in Sports Management programs as well as after graduation.
