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 studies in how media, film, and communication work across journalism, photography, drama, and fine art. Unlike a general communications degree, it integrates hands-on creative production with critical analysis of how stories and images shape audiences. Co-op placements let you work in newsrooms, production studios, or media organizations while studying. It suits people who want to understand both the creative and technical sides of storytelling across different mediums.
