The National Basketball Association (NBA) and TECH Global University, the world's largest online university, have announced a multi-year agreement that makes the educational institution the Official Online University of the NBA.
As part of the first partnership of its kind for the NBA, both entities will offer a variety of educational resources and online university programs focused on the business of the basketball league and other relevant areas. Each program will be made up of a uniquely designed syllabus and will feature content from guest speakers, such as NBA players, both retired and active, and league executives, who will offer their expertise on relevant topics.
“We are thrilled to partner with TECH Global University to support the comprehensive development of students and professionals throughout the region,” said NBA Latin America Senior Vice President and General Manager Arnon de Mello. “We look forward to working with TECH to create informative and insightful programs that showcase the different aspects of the sports business and provide a better understanding of the NBA and the sports industry in general.”
“For us, it is an honour to be the official online university of a global basketball league like the NBA and to offer this unique academic experience,” said TECH Education Group CEO and founder Manuel Sanchez-Cascado de Fuentes. “Through these programs, students and professionals will have the opportunity to specialise in the sports industry sector and learn from the experience of professionals who have achieved success in their fields with the NBA by exemplifying passion and teamwork.”
