The Sport Media program at York College of Pennsylvania is unique because of its wide-ranging course content and interdisciplinary design. Sport media is a growing field, and sport organizations have placed an increased focus on communication specialization skills (e.g., branding, content generation, film editing). In light of this, students in the Sport Media program will experience a comprehensive curriculum that capitalizes on synergy between the sport management and mass communications majors, reflective of the breadth of the sport media industry. In addition, students can further customize based on interests via 12 credits of electives to help prepare them for positions in a various career segment.

Students who transfer in 60 credits or more at the time of admission to the college will be waived from the Constellation requirement, except for Education majors. The waiver applies to the requirement for graduation but does not waive the credits to graduate; students need to meet the overall bachelor’s degree credit requirement.
