What it is	Media Studies teaches you how to analyze, create, and understand media — including film, television, news, social media, and advertising — and how media shapes society and culture. You'll study both the theory behind media and hands-on production skills. This program suits people who are curious about how communication works in the modern world and want to understand or work in creative and media industries.	Social Communication is an interdisciplinary program that teaches you how to craft and spread messages across different media and audiences. You study journalism, marketing, media analysis, and publicity techniques together rather than in separate streams, so you understand how these fields overlap in real-world communication work. It suits people who want to communicate for organizations, media outlets, or campaigns and prefer a broad foundation over specializing in just one area early on.	Professional Translation is a program where you study how to translate texts, documents, and media between English and French at an advanced level. Unlike a general language degree, it focuses specifically on translation skills and techniques across different fields like business, law, media, and literature. It suits people who are fluent in both English and French and want to turn that skill into a career.
