The Sport Communication Program reflects the widening opportunities that exist in this field. An increasing amount of sport-related activity is occurring in television, radio, and print communication. The sport communication emphasis is an interdisciplinary program that provides strong background in sport with either a broadcast or print specialization.
With the cooperation of the Department of Telecommunications and the School of Journalism, the Department of Kinesiology offers undergraduate programs in sport communication—broadcast and print, leading to the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology degree. The sport communication-broadcast emphasis concentrates on courses in telecommunications media, such as television, radio, and other electronic communications technologies
Students completing the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with a specialization in Sport Communication will be prepared for entry-level positions in radio, television, athletic or sports information, sports journalism, public and/or community relations, and promotions.
Students may also find employment with semiprofessional and professional sports teams in the area of media relations. Graduates are knowledgeable in a variety of sport communication applications and suited to diverse employment opportunities.
