Fairfield University’s sports media program encompasses the main tenets of the industries and practices that make up the larger sports media environment - including journalism, broadcasting, communication, and public relations - and combines them with a critical approach to studying sports that is rooted in the liberal arts and the Jesuit mission of the University.
A sports media major or minor is experiential, analytical, and interdisciplinary in nature, and requires students to take courses within the College of Arts and Sciences’ Digital Journalism program, Communication Department, and Film, Television, and Media Arts program. As part of their studies, students critically evaluate the social, cultural, and political issues that imbue and surround sport, while learning the professional skills needed for careers in sports media.
