BA in Sports Communication in Peoria United States | Bradley University

The Charley Steiner (71) School of Sports Communication, the nation's inaugural named institution for sports communication studies, serves as your gateway to a professional career. Rather than competing as an athlete, you can announce live games, contribute behind the scenes as a sports media editor or producer, or explore opportunities in sports management and promotions.

At Bradley University, you'll dive right into action. Starting immediately, you can contribute to the campus newspaper, collaborate with ESPN and BravesVision, and pursue internships with Peoria's minor league hockey and baseball franchises. These practical opportunities enhance your classroom learning, where you'll master essential journalism, production, management, marketing, and media relations skills. While specializing in your interests, you'll also develop expertise in research and multimedia storytelling. These experiences help compile a professional portfolio to kickstart your sports communication career.

Upon graduation, your accomplishments may feature:

Practical sports journalism and production work with student media outlets
Career-building connections through the Steiner Symposium on Sports Communication, an annual gathering of sports and media industry leaders on campus
Chances to participate in professional conferences and co-author research with faculty members
Internship placements with prominent sports entities including NBC's Olympic coverage, the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and the Los Angeles Dodgers organization
