| What it is | You study how people communicate with each other and how societies are organized, combining insights from both fields to understand media, journalism, and social behaviour. Unlike a program in communication or sociology alone, this integrated approach lets you apply communication theory to real social issues and social analysis to media and public discourse. It suits students interested in how information shapes society and who want practical experience through co-op placements in newsrooms, nonprofits, or research organizations. | You study the creative and business sides of art, film, design, and performance. This program combines hands-on work in fields like photography, animation, drama, and dance with classes in marketing and media studies, so you're not just making art — you're learning how to manage projects and reach audiences. It suits people who want careers in creative industries but also need to understand budgets, promotion, and how to run cultural organizations. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
