Offered by Toronto Metropolitan University in Toronto, Canada, BA/BS in Sport Media is a bachelor's degree in Media Studies & Mass Media programme. The programme runs for 4 years. Tuition for international students is CAD 38,733 per year (CAD 7,466 per year for local students).
This Bachelor of Arts program combines sport journalism, marketing, business, and live production training, with an emphasis on practical work using broadcast-standard equipment. First-year courses cover digital media, audio production, message design for sport media, media literacy, and video production for sport, alongside liberal studies electives. The program is full-time over four years, includes a mandatory internship, and gives students access to a dedicated sports production facility for live broadcast work. It suits students aiming specifically at sport-focused media careers, such as broadcaster, director, esports producer, journalist, or videographer, at organizations within sport broadcasting and media, rather than general journalism or media production. The page also notes pathways into further study in digital media, documentary media, or journalism for graduates who want to continue their education rather than enter the industry directly.

Admission Requirements: Direct entry requires the OSSD with six Grade 12 U or M courses, including English (ENG4U/EAE4U preferred) at a minimum of 70%, and an overall average of at least 70% to be considered; the competitive admitting average has run 80-85% in recent cycles and fluctuates with application volume and available spaces.

The programme page defers to TMU's general admission requirements for English proficiency: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall (no minimum band), TOEFL iBT 92, Duolingo English Test 120, PTE Academic 60 or CAEL 70.

Application Details
Application Deadline:Toronto Metropolitan University sets one guaranteed-consideration date for both domestic and international applicants applying for Fall 2027 entry: complete applications and amendments received by 1 February 2027 receive equal consideration for admission, and TMU says this same date applies to 'all domestic & international applicants.' Non-academic ('Grades-Plus') requirements are generally due around this point too, though the exact date varies by programme. For Winter 2027 (January-start) entry, TMU's program-status page gives domestic applicants a guaranteed-consideration date of 1 December 2026, with most programmes closing applications in mid-December; a limited number of programmes separately accept international applications for winter admission subject to space availability, but TMU publishes no fixed closing date for those international winter applicants. Admission is not rolling: late applications are considered only as space allows after the guaranteed-consideration date. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
