Held on-campus, the SCM curriculum is a combination of: Television studio production Live-event broadcasting Single camera production Advanced Editing Sports media history and theory Hands-on practicum and internship experiences The program is designed to produce successful media professionals with well-developed critical thinking skills focused on the issues surrounding sports, culture and the media. The Sports Broadcasting program trains students in sports media through a combination of in-class exercises, out-of-class field production work and internships with some of the many sports media companies that are located near SHU. Professional sports broadcasters with experience at companies like ESPN, NBC Sports and The Dan Patrick Show provide guidance and feedback throughout the curriculum.
