What it is	You study how to report news, investigate stories, and communicate through written and digital media. Unlike a general media or communications program, journalism focuses specifically on gathering facts, interviewing sources, and producing news for publication. This program suits people who want to understand how information reaches the public and who are curious about current events and storytelling.	Integrated Media is a program that combines visual art, writing, and digital technology to create work across different media — like games, interactive art, or multimedia storytelling. Unlike programs that focus on one discipline, this one expects you to move between visual design, code, and narrative to solve creative problems. It suits people who want to make things that live across screens and formats, and who think best when they're mixing different creative skills.	Communication, Media and Film covers how people create and share messages through different formats: journalism, photography, film, drama, and digital media. The co-op option means you alternate between classroom learning and paid work terms in media organizations, giving you real industry experience alongside your degree. It suits people who want to understand storytelling and media from multiple angles while building a practical portfolio.
