What it is	You study how people communicate through digital platforms, traditional media, and written content, combining journalism, creative writing, and media analysis with business and economics foundations. Unlike a pure journalism program, this combines multiple communication disciplines and requires hands-on digital media production alongside theory. It suits people who want to work in digital marketing, publishing, broadcasting, or content creation and value gaining real workplace experience during their degree.	Psychology at Glendon is a BA program where you study human behaviour, mental processes, and how people think and interact. You can take electives across many related fields like forensic science, human biology, education, or law depending on your interests. The iBA option requires you to complete part of your degree in French immersion, making it suited to students who want bilingual depth alongside their psychology training.	This program combines the study of how people and organizations communicate with the analysis of politics and power. You'll take courses in media, journalism, persuasion, and political systems, learning how communication shapes politics and vice versa. It suits students curious about how messages, news, and public opinion influence policy and elections, especially if you want to alternate between classroom and work placements.
