What it is	French Literature and Linguistics is a four-year university program taught entirely in French. You study French language, literature, and writing across different periods and genres, with options to compare French works to literature in other languages. The co-op version lets you complete paid work terms at cultural organizations, media outlets, or other French-language employers alongside your classes. This program suits students who are fluent in French and want to deepen their understanding of the language and its literary traditions rather than just learn French as a second language.	You study how people communicate through digital platforms, traditional media, and written content, combining journalism, creative writing, and media analysis with business and economics foundations. Unlike a pure journalism program, this combines multiple communication disciplines and requires hands-on digital media production alongside theory. It suits people who want to work in digital marketing, publishing, broadcasting, or content creation and value gaining real workplace experience during their degree.
