| What it is | You study literature, writing, and language — how texts work, what they mean, and how to analyze them closely. You can combine English with French translation, history, philosophy, or gender and women's studies, depending on which campus and specialization appeal to you. This suits people who want to think critically about ideas and communication, whether they're planning to teach, write, edit, or work in fields where strong analysis matters. | This program teaches you how to design clothing and accessories, market fashion products, and communicate fashion ideas through media. Unlike a pure design program, it combines creative skills with business and communication strategy, so you learn both how to make fashion and how to sell it. It suits people who want to work in design, branding, styling, or fashion media rather than just one of those areas. | You study how people communicate and influence each other through media, advertising, journalism, and marketing. This program blends theory from multiple disciplines — sociology, psychology, media studies — rather than focusing on just one communication skill. It suits students interested in how messages shape society and who want flexible options across journalism, public relations, advertising, and media industries. |
