Sports Media and Production
If you tend to see a story at play within every game, match or competition, you’re likely interested in sports media. We challenge you to shoot and edit videos, create and conduct interviews with players and coaches, produce post-game content and script play-by-play and color commentary for live distribution. Unlike at a four-year university, you gain hands-on experience the first game of the season.
