"I didn't expect to get real experience this early, but by my sophomore year I was already working on projects that felt like actual marketing work. It made me feel confident that I'm ready for what comes next."Alex WilcoxonMarketing | Junior
The Sports Media minor prepares students for a job in a $600 billion industry, whether be to report from the sideline, anchor a sports broadcast or tell the stories that define athletes and teams. Through hands-on coursework via small classes, live event coverage, and direct access to NCAA Division I athletics, students can build a professional portfolio of bylines, broadcast reels, and production experiences while still in school.
