SUMMARY

Studying Sports Communication is not only a valuable choice, but ordinarily an obligatory first step for undergraduates wanting to begin a career as a sports reporter, a sports coordinator, or an on-air sports personality. In fact, sports communication is a very rare major ranking as the 317th most popular major. Last academic year, there were 315 sports communication degrees conferred. In-state tuition for sports communication at private schools is, on average, 3.2 times more costly than their public peers.

With just 42 universities having programs for sports communication there could be limited options as to the institutions which will have a degree program for you. If you're looking to surround yourself with other sports communication majors, look at universities in Arizona which have the most students admitted to sports communication annually. Zooming out, the top region to pursue sports communication is in the Southwest region with Oklahoma State University-Main Campus, LeTourneau University, and Arizona State University-Downtown Phoenix best representing the region. Interestingly, our pick of the top conference to major in sports communication is the Pacific-12 Conference with Arizona State University-Downtown Phoenix representing the conference. From our extensive list on the best colleges, our choice for the best college for sports communication is Emerson College.

The objectively 'best' school is not necessarily the 'best' school for you. There might be lots of facets to think about when deciding on ​university. Things such as campus amenities, transportation services, and food could impact one's thoughts of where to go to school. At authority.org, we've weighed the pros and cons for you. If, as an example, you want to know which sports communication school is home to the top college campus, the answer is Ithaca College. If you are very interested in which college is home to the top campus, then we have a whole page dedicated to that. We have carefully pored through professor reviews, student reviews, government databases, and more so we can compare every major in an unbiased and informative way. Here you can explore our well researched list for the colleges with the best student life&nbspand our choice of the school with the best student life for sports communication is Emerson College. Are you curious why? Keep scrolling to discover more about our top selections. Some of our picks will probably surprise you.

If price is a significant deciding factor in your decisions, you might consider avoiding Emerson College. Emerson College&nbspis our most expensive college for sports communication, at least for out of state students. We have a list of the most expensive&nbspschools that could put the expense of Emerson College&nbspinto perspective. For more context, you could be interested to know that sports communication is the 132nd most expensive major in the US, with an average associated cost of $35,200.

On the bright side, the most affordable university for sports communication is Full Sail University. Our full list of the most affordable schools can be explored here.

In-state students can anticipate paying in the neighborhood of $12,000 for a degree in sports communication. The price increases intensely to an average of $30,800 for the out-of-state public-school undergraduate. On that note, our pick for the college representing the best value for sports communication: Butler University. Through this link you can find our comprehensive list for the colleges we believe to be the best value&nbspoverall. Do know, this idea is based on out-of-state tuition costs. The value proposition changes when in-state tuition costs are considered, but we do not know in which states any one student has residency.

Earnings for sports communication students vary a lot, but two-years after completing the major students will often make around $41,800. While there is much variation in earnings potential; top earners can experience pay up to $89,100. Even right out of school, the lowest end jobs within the sports communication field make $20,100, which could be worse. The highest earning grads from sports communication have come from Butler University&nbspand if you are looking for schools with all of the highest earning graduates, we have that too.

The prevailing diversity of sports communication ranks subpar, falling within the 26th percentile of all programs. The college with the most composite diversity for sports communication is Full Sail University&nbspand here you can find our comprehensive list of the schools with the most diversity. The financial diversity of Sports Communication is only in the 40th percentile of all majors. Racial diversity is even lower in the 23rd percentile. White undergraduates compose the largest share, 73%, of those studying sports communication. Additionally, 66% of scholars pursuing a sports communication major are men.

We have insufficient professors data for sports communication to make the conclusions we normally would have made in this sentence. As we incorporate data beyond basic rankings it becomes clear that the school possessing the overall best instructors for sports communication is Clemson University. You can find more detail on our ever evolving ranking methodology of the best overall professors here, along with some of the finest examples of professors in the U.S.

Finally, the most difficult school to get into for sports communication is Emerson College. While we think of this list more as a novelty, we do have a general page of the hardest colleges to get into. That being said, we do hope you believe that approaching the education process from context only shaped by superlatives might cause issues. We at Authority encourage you to look at some of our other pages on different universities and peruse a couple of our informative background articles on important details to look out for as your college search develops.
