You don’t have to wait for college to experience sports journalism and broadcasting. At the Sports Journalism and Broadcasting Institute for Teens, our non-credited certificate programs is open to anyone from 12 to 18 years of age.

The in-depth series of courses within the certificate program shall provide students with the necessary fundamental core foundations and skill sets required in sports journalism, as well as, how to become a well-rounded sportscaster. Students are taught in state-of-the-art classrooms and studios on the Hofstra University campus.

  • Radio Hosting
  • TV Hosting and Anchoring

Our instructors through critical critique will provide honest student assessments.
