The program includes a co-op component, giving you paid work terms at companies alongside your classes, which suits students who want real experience before graduating. | 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.

It suits people who want to make things, not just analyze them, and who enjoy combining visual, written, and conceptual work. | This program combines computer science, design, and visual storytelling to teach you how to create digital content like animated films, video games, and interactive media.
