| 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. | This program combines the study of how young people develop and behave with the study of how society works and institutions function. You'll examine topics like family dynamics, education systems, social inequality, and policy that affects children and youth, drawing on psychology and social work perspectives. It suits students who want to understand people and social structures in depth before moving into careers like social work, education, counselling, or community development. | You study how religion, moral philosophy, and social justice intersect with modern society, drawing on theology, psychology, sociology, and journalism.

It suits students interested in exploring belief systems and their role in addressing social problems, whether through advocacy, community work, or writing. |
