What it is	You study how organizations communicate with audiences through writing, media, and strategic messaging, blending business fundamentals with communication theory and practice. This program includes mandatory work terms alongside your classes, so you alternate between campus and paid jobs in communications roles. It suits people who want to work in corporate communications, marketing, public relations, or media while gaining real workplace experience.	This one-year certificate teaches you how to create and share messages across newspapers, websites, social media, and marketing campaigns. You study journalism, marketing, and media strategy together rather than picking one path, so you learn how different communication fields overlap. It suits people who want hands-on skills in writing, promotion, or media work without committing to a full degree, or who are already working and need to upgrade their communications knowledge part-time.
