What it isYou study how people communicate through media — TV, film, social media, journalism, advertising, and public relations. The program combines theory about how media shapes society with practical skills in creating and analyzing media content. It suits people interested in understanding media's role in the world and developing hands-on abilities in broadcasting, digital production, or communications work.You study how to create visual communication using design principles, digital tools, and image-making across print, screen, and interactive media. Graphic design differs from fine arts in that you're solving communication problems for clients or audiences rather than making art for its own sake. This program suits people who think visually, enjoy problem-solving with images and type, and want to work in advertising, branding, publishing, or digital media.This program combines the study of how people create, share, and interpret information across media and cultures. You'll choose from areas like creative writing, media studies, publishing, and information technology, rather than specializing in just one. The co-op option lets you work in communications or tech roles while you study, which suits people who want real-world experience alongside their degree and flexibility in choosing which communication field interests them most.
