The media production division at the University of Cincinnati’s College-Conservatory of Music
No, “exposure” doesn’t pay the rent, but working in partnership with a global sports network might. Students from the media production division at the University of Cincinnati’s College-Conservatory of Music work outside the classroom to produce and direct television broadcasts for Bearcats sports that air live on ESPN+. It’s a unique opportunity — no other school in the American Athletic Conference uses student media teams linked to a curriculum to produce live feeds for the network. After just a couple of years, it already has generated jobs for program alums at ESPN, with the Bengals and at other big-name sports media entities. ccm.uc.edu.
