Sports Media & Communication
Interested in a mix of broadcasting, public relations, advertising, journalism and showing up hours before and staying long after the big game? Then you're in the right place. Sports media and communication focuses on the ins and outs of how to succeed in the world of sports. It's not conditioning for the NFL draft, but gaining valuable skills in reporting, marketing and engaging fans. No matter which direction you go, you will learn creative problem-solving, critical thinking, excellent writing and strategic decision-making. Take classes in:
