What it is	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.	In this program you study how to use cameras, lighting, and editing to create images and films that express ideas or tell stories. Photography at OCAD combines technical skills with art theory, so you learn both the craft and the thinking behind visual work. It suits people who see the world through a visual lens and want to develop that into a serious artistic or professional practice.	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.
