What it is	You study how films, photographs, and media messages are made and understood, combining hands-on work in cinematography and design with analysis of how communication shapes culture. This program blends technical skills — camera work, editing, visual design — with critical thinking about media's role in society. It suits people who want to create visual work and understand the stories media tells.	This program combines the study of how societies work — through anthropology, politics, and social policy — with practical skills in starting and running social enterprises that solve community problems. Unlike a straight business degree, it focuses specifically on ventures designed for social impact rather than profit alone. It suits people who want to understand social change deeply and turn ideas into real projects that help communities.	Professional Translation is a program where you study how to translate texts, documents, and media between English and French at an advanced level. Unlike a general language degree, it focuses specifically on translation skills and techniques across different fields like business, law, media, and literature. It suits people who are fluent in both English and French and want to turn that skill into a career.
