Sports Communication Program Description |
Goucher College has developed the fully online Bachelor of Professional Studies degree to more effectively meet the education needs of community college students who, after completing a career track Associate of Applied Science or Associate of Technical Studies degree, realize that the market and employers are seeking to hire those candidates who have completed the bachelor’s. The BPS degree at Goucher provides a smooth transition to four year completion for students who may never have considered a Goucher degree. <br> <br>The Bachelor of Professional Studies in Sports Communication has been designed by and will be implemented through a partnership of subject matter experts and those professionals who are trained in best practice pedagogy for the adult online learner. The BPS degree has a core of 30 credits in BPS courses designed to supplement the general education credits AAS or ATS students bring as part of their Associates degree while still maintaining a career and applied focus, and 30 credits in the area of Sports Communication. |
