What it is	You 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.	A Humanities program lets you study how humans create meaning through language, culture, history, and ideas. You choose from subjects like English, history, philosophy, drama, and various languages, building a degree around your interests rather than following a single prescribed path. It suits people who want to understand how societies work and express themselves clearly, without committing to a single specialized field from day one.	A Humanities degree lets you study how people think, communicate, and make meaning through language, philosophy, religion, and culture. You choose from areas like linguistics, classical studies, and theology, and can combine subjects in ways that suit your interests rather than following a single major track. The co-op option lets you complete paid work terms alongside your studies. This program suits people drawn to big questions about human society and meaning, who want flexibility in their coursework, or who value real-world experience mixed with classroom learning.	This program trains you to teach junior and intermediate students (roughly grades 4 to 10) by combining a university degree in arts subjects with teacher education coursework. You study one or two arts subjects like English, history, or psychology while also taking education courses that teach you how to plan lessons, manage a classroom, and assess student learning. It suits people who want to teach a specific subject and earn a teaching credential in four years rather than doing a separate degree first.
