"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 major prepares students for their dream job, whether it’s to report from the sideline, anchor a sports broadcast, manage media relations for an athletic organization, or tell the stories that define athletes and teams. Through hands-on coursework, live event coverage, and direct access to NCAA Division I athletics, you'll build a professional portfolio of bylines, reels, and production experiences while still in school.
