Sports Communication

women in sports

The Communication degree has concentrations in Advertising, Communication Studies, Journalism, Gaming/Interactive Media, Public Relations/Organizational Communication, Radio, Television, Film and Sports Communication.

Sports Communication takes students beyond team scores and statistics. It requires that students read and analyze sports in new ways, critically examining the role of sports in society and considering such areas as gender, race, and public policy in the context of sports. The program combines ethical and theoretical depth with practical writing and public presentation skills. It further prepares students for careers in sports information and journalism by requiring an internship in the field.
