Sports Communication and Marketing prepares you for the dynamic industry of sports.
Whether you prefer being front and center reporting live, or behind the scenes helping with production, you will have the skills and knowledge to cover or market big-time sports events.
Because the business of sports is a $200 billion industry in the U.S., the demand for students with knowledge of business and communication is growing. Students will gain hands-on experience in digital media production and design and implement this experience in sports-related projects. Graduates of the major can pursue jobs in sports broadcasting, sports management, or sports information.
