You’ll experience the best of both worlds when it comes to earning a bachelor or master’s degree in sport at Syracuse University Falk College. We are large enough to be able to offer incredible resources, experiences and contacts, yet small enough to allow you to be part of a supportive and nurturing community of faculty, staff, students and alumni.
As a D-1 institution, our facilities are an important part of who we are. We are home to the Carrier Dome, a 50,000+ domed stadium, the Carmelo K. Anthony Basketball Center, and the Lampe Athletic Complex complete with a 400-meter track, soccer stadium and a 2,700-seat field house. We even house an ice skating pavilion on-campus! And we have an impressive network of alumni and sport and entertainment industry professionals eager to work with our students, people like David B. Falk (F.A.M.E.), Brandon Steiner (Steiner Sports), Mike Tirico and Laurie Orlando (ESPN) , and Patti-Kleinman-Fallick (MLB Network), to name just a few of our Advisory Board members. Building skills and knowledge while you build a network is why our alumni are so successful.
