What it is	Health Administration teaches you how to run hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities. You'll learn business skills like budgeting, planning, and managing staff, combined with enough healthcare knowledge to understand what doctors and nurses actually do. This program suits people who want a career in healthcare but prefer management and operations over direct patient care or medical science.	You study how to create and produce media across film, photography, writing, and design, learning both the technical skills and creative thinking behind what you see on screens and in print. Unlike a pure communication theory program, this one emphasizes hands-on production and design work alongside studying media's role in society. It suits people who want to make things, not just analyze them, and who enjoy combining visual, written, and conceptual work.	Graphic Communications Management teaches you to manage the creative and business sides of visual design projects. You study design principles alongside marketing, business strategy, and media production so you can lead teams that create everything from branding to advertising campaigns. It suits people who want to combine artistic thinking with management responsibility, rather than focusing only on design or only on business.	You study business fundamentals with a focus on marketing strategy, consumer behaviour, and how companies promote and sell products or services. The co-op version requires you to complete paid work terms at real companies alongside your courses, giving you workplace experience before you graduate. This program suits students who want to understand both the broader business side and the specific marketing skills needed to launch campaigns, analyze markets, and build brands.
