| What it is | You study business management with a focus on international trade, operations, and cross-border commerce. Unlike a general business degree, this program emphasizes global markets, supply chains, and doing business across countries. It includes mandatory co-op work terms, giving you real workplace experience alongside classroom learning. This suits people who want business skills combined with international perspective and hands-on professional practice. | You study how people communicate through digital platforms, traditional media, and written content, combining journalism, creative writing, and media analysis with business and economics foundations. Unlike a pure journalism program, this combines multiple communication disciplines and requires hands-on digital media production alongside theory. It suits people who want to work in digital marketing, publishing, broadcasting, or content creation and value gaining real workplace experience during their degree. | Social Communication is an interdisciplinary program that teaches you how to craft and spread messages across different media and audiences. You study journalism, marketing, media analysis, and publicity techniques together rather than in separate streams, so you understand how these fields overlap in real-world communication work. It suits people who want to communicate for organizations, media outlets, or campaigns and prefer a broad foundation over specializing in just one area early on. |
