What it is	You study how people communicate through writing, journalism, and digital media in the modern world. This co-op program includes mandatory work terms at media companies or communications organizations, so you alternate between semesters of classroom learning and paid professional experience. It suits students who want hands-on practice in the media industry while earning credits toward their degree.	This program combines business studies with social sciences — covering how companies interact with society, economics, politics, and culture. Unlike a straight business degree, you study sociology, communication, literature, and politics alongside core business courses to understand the human and social side of organizations. It suits students interested in business who also want to explore ethics, culture, and how society shapes markets.
