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 the creative and technical craft of making films, from cinematography and camera work to storytelling and visual composition. Unlike a broader media studies program, Image Arts focuses on hands-on production skills and the visual language of cinema rather than theory alone. This suits students who want to create films themselves and are comfortable learning through doing.	Labour Studies examines how work, employment, and workers' rights function in society through the lenses of politics, human resources, and social policy. Unlike a general business degree, it focuses on labour relations, workplace justice, and policy rather than management techniques alone. This program suits people interested in union work, employment law, labour advocacy, or human resources roles where understanding worker perspectives matters.	Communications at Glendon teaches you how media, visual culture, and marketing work in practice and in theory. You study cinematography and photography alongside media analysis and strategic communication, rather than pure theory or business skills alone. It suits people who want to understand how messages reach audiences across platforms and are willing to study in both English and French.
