What it is	You study French language, literature, and culture in depth, building fluency from wherever your current level is. This program focuses on French itself rather than combining it with another language the way some modern language programs do. It suits students who want genuine proficiency in French and are interested in how the language connects to francophone cultures and texts.	You study one modern language in depth — French, Spanish and Latin American culture, or Italian — alongside English literature and related humanities. Each stream lets you focus on the language itself, its literature, and the history and culture of regions where it's spoken. This suits you if you want genuine fluency in a second language combined with understanding of its cultural context, rather than a broad survey of multiple languages.	You study how organizations and individuals use digital platforms and media to communicate with audiences, drawing from business strategy, creative writing, design, law, and sociology. Unlike a straight marketing or media studies program, this one explicitly connects social media tactics to broader social impact and strategic business goals. It suits people who want to understand both the creative and analytical sides of digital communication, and who benefit from hands-on co-op work experience.
