| What it is | This program combines the study of media, communication, and information technology — learning how messages are created, shared, and understood across digital and traditional platforms alongside practical IT skills. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom terms and paid work placements in media, tech, or communications companies, giving you real industry experience alongside your degree. It suits students interested in how technology shapes storytelling and public conversation, who want hands-on workplace experience before graduating. | You study education and arts together while you train to teach French at the middle and high school level. Unlike a straight education degree, this program embeds your subject-area coursework in arts and social sciences alongside your teaching methods training, so you graduate ready to teach French plus another subject. It suits people who want to teach languages and are comfortable studying education theory and practice from day one. | This program combines a degree in the social sciences with professional training as a social worker. You study human behaviour, social policy, and sociology in the first part, then move into specialized social work practice and ethics. It suits people who want both a broad understanding of society and the credentials to work directly with individuals, families, and communities facing challenges. |
