Sports Journalism

<p>I have asked this many times, but I still feel there is more information to be found, and new voices are appreciated. My heart is set on sportswriting as a career and I want to know what universities have to offer in this career field. Any info on specific colleges with sports journalism programs would be great! Thanks</p>

<p>If you're looking for great journalism programs, try:</p>

<p>Northwestern's Medill School of Journalism
U Missouri - Columbia</p>

<p>^best two</p>

<p>also almost equally amazing are . . . </p>

<p>University of Southern California
Syracuse University
U Illinios - Urbana-Champaign
U Wisconsin - Madison
U North Carolina - Chapel Hill</p>

<p>^all top ten j-programs in the country</p>

<p>RYNO - google ''sports journalism college'' - quite a bit of info pops up - There seem to be quite a few programs - also post this in the Parents Forum and you may find some takers there as well. Good Luck!</p>

<p>Ryno26,</p>

<p>Have you ever thought about majoring in Sports Management and minoring in journalism? This way you could still become a sports writer but if things don't work out you have a broader skill base.</p>

<p>what exactly would sports management allow me to pursue? And what schools have prestigious sports management programs?</p>

<p>One of the BEST is UMASS/Amherst - go to their website and check it out - good info there - <a href="http://www.umass.edu%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.umass.edu&lt;/a> -</p>

<p>What part of the country are you in or looking to go to??</p>

<p>Sports management does quite a few things besides just journalism. You could become a player agent, colligate athletic director, and an employee of a professional team, among many others.</p>

</p>

<p>Also do some research and see what kind of jobs are out there. Keep in mind that you don't have to get a degree with the label "sport" to break into the industry. A very good journalism (or business) degree will do just as well and broaden your oppurtunites.</p>

<p>But finally, remember that the descion is yours. Do what you feel is best...</p>
