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 an arts or media subject like drama, creative writing, fine art, or music while simultaneously completing teacher training. Unlike a regular arts degree followed by separate teacher certification, you earn both your subject degree and your teaching credential in one integrated program. This suits people who know they want to teach their artistic passion and want to combine the two paths from the start.	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.
