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.	Communication, Media and Film covers how people create and share messages through different formats: journalism, photography, film, drama, and digital media. The co-op option means you alternate between classroom learning and paid work terms in media organizations, giving you real industry experience alongside your degree. It suits people who want to understand storytelling and media from multiple angles while building a practical portfolio.
