Whether an athlete participates in water-, land-, sea- or air-based extreme sports, studying adventure sports can open additional career options. In these programs, they could learn about safety, coaching, tourism and management. Courses may introduce students to new sports too.

Master-level studies involve specialized study in a field of research or an area of professional practice. Earning a master’s degree demonstrates a higher level of mastery of the subject.
Earning a master’s degree can take anywhere from a year to three or four years. Before you can graduate, you usually must write and defend a thesis, a long paper that is the culmination of your specialized research.
