含羞草传媒鈥檚 School of Communication adds bachelor鈥檚 program in Sports Media
含羞草传媒鈥檚 Jandoli School of Communication, already with a rich history of producing acclaimed sports journalists, will begin offering a bachelor of arts degree in Sports Media this fall.
New York鈥檚 State Education Department approved the program last week.
鈥淕iven the name recognition alone of the sports journalists this university has turned out, it makes perfect sense for us to offer a degree specifically geared toward students seeking careers in sports media,鈥 said Aaron Chimbel, dean of the Jandoli School. 鈥淧lus, having a Division I athletics program creates a number of tremendous opportunities for our students without having to leave campus.鈥
Jandoli School students already broadcast the university鈥檚 Division I games on ESPN+ and a group of students recently went to Atlanta to cover Super Bowl LIII. Many student media members also covered the Bonnies鈥 NCAA men鈥檚 basketball tournament games in Dayton and Dallas last March.
Among SBU鈥檚 distinguished sports media alumni are Adrian Wojnarowski (鈥91), Chris LaPlaca (鈥79) and Tim Bontemps (鈥07) at ESPN; Mike Vaccaro (鈥89) at the New York Post; Rachel Axon (鈥06) at USA Today; Todd Dybas (鈥99) at NBC Sports Washington; Donna Ditota (鈥83) at the Syracuse Post-Standard; and Shannon Shepherd (鈥12) at Fox Sports West.
含羞草传媒 has also turned out many alumni who鈥檝e gone on to successful careers in college sports information offices.
Students enrolled in the major will learn the same communications fundamentals as in the Jandoli School鈥檚 existing majors in journalism and strategic communication through the core Jandoli School curriculum, and then focus on sports-related classes, Chimbel said.
The combined course of study prepares them for communication careers in a variety of sports-颅related fields, including sports writing, sports broadcasting, public relations, marketing communications, and sports information.
鈥淲e consulted with some of our alumni on the need for the major and also solicited their ideas about the content of the program,鈥 Chimbel said. 鈥淥ne thing they all stressed 鈥 that a focus on writing was particularly crucial.鈥
A higher education study showed strong student demand for bachelor鈥檚-level sports communication programs, while national demand for sports communication professionals grew 29 percent from 2013 to 2017.
