Career Opportunities & Placement

The PTM Program is a gateway to great career opportunities and boasts a placement rate of 100% since its inception. Ferris graduates are prepared to choose careers in tennis and/or business such as:

  • USPTA Certified Tennis Teaching Professionals
  • Tennis Directors
  • Club Managers
  • Camp Directors
  • Highschool or College Tennis Coach
  • Pro-Shop Managers
  • Manufacturer Sales Representatives
  • Tennis Industry Administrators
  • Many other traditional opportunities in business and tennis

Since PTM graduates are more qualified for entry-level tennis positions than typical graduates, they can expect to make as much or more than the average entry-level tennis professional. Currently, our graduates average over $30,000 - $40,000 their first year.

Workshops, Seminars and Exposure to the Industry

Industry experts from across the country come to Ferris' campus to speak with students on a variety of topics ranging from sport science to club management. Many times, these experts donate their time and pay their own travel expenses just to contribute to the education of our industry's future professionals.

In addition to helping PTM students stay on the cutting edge of tennis and business knowledge, these workshops and seminars allow students to network with potential employers who are willing to help further students' careers upon graduation.
