Multidisciplinary Studies, B.A. - Sports Journalism Option
Teaches students to write, report and develop multimedia sport packages for print, digital and social-media formats, while giving students an understanding of the role of sports journalism in contemporary society.
The Bachelor of Arts in multidisciplinary studies (MDST) major provides students creative opportunities to integrate and synthesize knowledge in the liberal arts and sciences. Students may select from preapproved concentrations within the major or work with the program coordinator and faculty advisors to propose a new concentration toward the degree. Program concentrations may combine six courses from each of two supporting disciplinary areas with a culminating capstone experience, which is an advanced course, internship, practicum or applied research seminar. Students interested in the MDST major should look for more information at www.millersville.edu/mdst, which includes contact information for the program coordinator. Multidisciplinary Studies (B.A.): 120 s.h. Subject to approval by the MDST Curriculum Committee: 18 s.h. in core program 1 (min. 9 s.h. advanced coursework); 18 s.h. in core program 2 (min. 6 s.h. advanced coursework); approved capstone course (3 s.h.); all general education requirements. Students in the major work closely with their advisors and the program coordinator to identify elective courses that complement the core programs. Each student may take at least three required related elective courses (9 s.h.) with a clearly articulated connection to the core areas.
