What it isYou study creative writing, journalism, and media communication — how to write stories, report news, and create content across different platforms. This co-op program requires you to work terms in actual creative or media companies, so you alternate between school and paid work in the field. It suits people who want hands-on experience in writing and digital media before they finish their degree, not just classroom learning.You enter this program without committing to a specific major, taking first-year courses across subjects like English, history, psychology, philosophy, and sociology. This gives you time to explore different areas of arts study before declaring a focus at the end of year one, rather than applying directly to a named program. It suits students who are interested in humanities and social sciences but unsure which direction fits them best.
