This interdisciplinary program focuses on critical studies of sports media, the business of sports media, and the practice of sports media. It pays special attention to the changing platforms of sports media so that students both understand the complex media environment and thrive in the sports media industry should they choose to work in it.
The Sports Media minor is a collaboration throughout the University. The program’s unique, interdisciplinary combination of critical studies, business, and practice sets it apart from all other sports media programs. The Seton Hall program incorporates all aspects of the sports media industry, including business, management, marketing, public relations, and social media, and help students develop skills to critically analyze the role of sports media within society and culture.
