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.	You study visual art through two main lenses: cinematics and photography, plus traditional fine arts like painting and sculpture. Unlike a general arts degree, this program is structured specifically around image-making and visual storytelling. It suits people who think in pictures and want to develop strong technical and conceptual skills in how visuals communicate ideas.
