Bailie Brown doesn t consider herself a trailblazer, and yet in a way she is â and so is her school.
Brown will graduate this month from Syracuse Universityâs Falk College with a Bachelor of Science degree in sport analytics, becoming the first woman to complete the four-year undergraduate program since its inception five years ago. Her 23 classmates are men.
âItâs definitely an honor, Brown said. I think that thereâs a little bit of pressure that goes along with that. I think I feel like I need to be successful.â
Syracuse University and California Baptist University in Los Angeles began offering a four-year undergraduate course of study in sports analytics in 2016. Brown chose Syracuse after discovering the program by chance.
