College Sports Jobs - Experience and/or Education Required

All the structures and sizes of college athletic departments offer a variety of job types, duties, responsibilities, challenges and opportunities.

Here's a sampling of the kinds of jobs open to you in colleges and universities, beginning with those requiring specific education and/or experience. In recruiting for these types of jobs, a specific college may consider these requirements as basic, minimal, typical or in some cases, even a desire that they are not set on.

In particular, many positions such as an Athletic Trainer, Head Coach or Athletic Department Director may be open to you with a Bachelor's Degree - but in reality, these positions at most schools will go to a candidate with a Master of Athletic Administration or similar degree.
