What it isYou study how businesses use technology and data to operate and make decisions.

It suits people who want a business career but prefer working with technology and solving technical problems within an organization.This program combines the study of how people create, share, and interpret information across media and cultures. You'll choose from areas like creative writing, media studies, publishing, and information technology, rather than specializing in just one.
