What it is	You study business fundamentals combined with specialized training in human resources — how to recruit, develop, manage, and support employees within organizations. Unlike a general commerce degree, this program focuses specifically on HR strategy, workplace relations, and people management. It suits students interested in organizational leadership who want practical work experience alongside their coursework, since the co-op option integrates paid internships into your studies.	This program teaches you how media and communication work across multiple platforms — from journalism and photography to marketing and design. You'll study both the theory behind how messages reach audiences and the practical skills to create them yourself. It suits people who want to understand media industries from the inside and are ready to work across different formats rather than specializing in just one.
