What it is	This program combines studies in how media, film, and communication work across journalism, photography, drama, and fine art. Unlike a general communications degree, it integrates hands-on creative production with critical analysis of how stories and images shape audiences. Co-op placements let you work in newsrooms, production studios, or media organizations while studying. It suits people who want to understand both the creative and technical sides of storytelling across different mediums.	Arts and Humanities programs at Western let you study literature, history, languages, creative work, and visual art — subjects focused on human culture and expression rather than science or business. You can pursue a general BA, combine business with arts, earn a specialized BFA in fine art, or complete a shorter certificate or diploma. The co-op option lets you alternate study terms with paid work placements related to your field. This suits people drawn to writing, analysis, visual creativity, or understanding how societies and cultures work.	You study a subject like economics, anthropology, or Chinese alongside teacher training, so you earn both a Bachelor of Education and a Bachelor's degree in your chosen field. Unlike a regular education degree, this concurrent program embeds your subject expertise from day one rather than adding it separately. It suits people who know they want to teach and have a clear subject they're passionate about.
