What it is	You study how media works, how messages spread, and how communication shapes society and politics. This program combines theory with hands-on practice, and includes a mandatory work term where you apply classroom learning in real media or communications settings. It suits people interested in journalism, public relations, social media strategy, or understanding how news and information influence the world around them.	You study computer science and design together in a hands-on, project-based way rather than as separate subjects. The program emphasizes learning through real problems and experimentation, so you'll build working projects alongside traditional coursework. This suits people who want to understand how technology and design connect and prefer learning by doing.	In an undeclared major, you start a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Environmental Studies without committing to a specific subject right away. You take introductory courses across areas like geography, politics, social policy, and planning, then choose your major after your first year once you know what interests you most. This approach suits students who are drawn to social and environmental questions but unsure which discipline to study them through.
