COM108 Sport Communication4 credit(s)
This course serves as an anchor for the First Year Experience by welcoming you into the Saint Mary’s University community and providing an opportunity for the development of academic skills in the area of communication. Inquiry into sport communication will allow you to develop the academic habits and ways of thinking to take forward into any Interdisciplinary Minor of your choice. This course incorporates the common themes of Place, Purpose, and Well-Being by developing academic skills and attitudes necessary to think critically about intellectual flexibility, identity development, community engagement, social responsibility, and the search for meaning. Topics include: identity, transition, university culture, diversity, interpersonal relations, and intellectual and moral development. This course will use sport communication theories, topics, and case studies to examine “identity” and give students a practical introduction to the various communication professions involving sports and sport culture. Specific areas to be examined (but are not limited to) include: fan cultures, parent/child/coach. interactions, careers in sport communication, digital and social media in sport, gender in sports.
