The Story Behind the Play.
To thrive in the ever-changing journalism industry, you’ve got to know a little of everything, from print to television to radio to online journalism, and even in public relations. In the Springfield College Communications/Sports Journalism major, you’ll immerse yourself in each type of media.
Communication/sports journalism is interdisciplinary by design, allowing you to pursue individual interests and providing a broad cultural context for the specialized field, weaving together theory and practice.
From day one, you’re encouraged to dive into "real-world journalism" through field experiences, internships, and exposure to professional journalists. You’ll also be expected to contribute to our campus publications, such as our student newspaper, radio station, or television station.
As a communications/sports journalism graduate, you’ll be ready to begin your career in print, television, radio, online communications, publication relations, or convergence journalism right away. In addition, you can also enter law school or attend graduate school.
Get In the Game
Three Communications/Sports Journalism (COSJ) students were on the frontlines of live ESPN+ broadcast coverage of the Springfield College football victory over UMass-Dartmouth in an NCAA Division III tournament game. This experiential learning opportunity for Dante LaFrate (play-by-play), Nick Pantages (color commentary), and Braedan Shea (technical operations), showcases that the best way to learn and grow as a broadcaster, producer, or contributor is through hands-on learning. Through experiential learning opportunities, COSJ students take what they learn in the classroom and put it into practice.
