“If you want to be a sports play-by-play broadcaster, this really isn’t the program for you. But if you want to learn to tell stories – to shoot, write, and edit compelling character-driven, athlete-driven stories – stories that people remember, stories that people will share, stories that get you thinking, stories that use sports as a lens to look at the rest of the world we live in… that’s what we do here.”
Chris Sheridan, Program Coordinator of the Masters in Sports Media & Storytelling at Wake Forest University
Consider getting an MA in Sports Media & Storytelling with the Wake Forest Documentary Film Program as your front row seat to major college sports — WFU is, after all, a Division I Power Five school. 🏀 🏈 ⚽ You’ll have access to the @accnetwork at your fingertips, and our campus is small enough that you’ll find student athletes and coaches easily accessible and approachable.
Help meet the demand for strong, character-driven sports stories. 🎥 Learn more about a Masters in Sports Media & Storytelling at documentary.wfu.edu ✨ (LINK IN BIO). Application deadline for the 2021 Fall semester is in January.
