What it is	This program combines theatre design and production with media communication studies. You learn how to create and build sets, lighting, and sound for stage and film productions, and study how to communicate visually and through performance. It suits people who want to work in theatre, film, television, or live events rather than just perform or study drama theory alone.	Dramatic Art is the study of theatre, performance, and how drama communicates meaning to audiences. You'll learn acting, directing, script analysis, and how media shapes storytelling across different platforms. The program includes a work-integrated co-op component, so you'll spend terms working in theatres, film, or media companies alongside your coursework, giving you real production experience before you graduate.	You study how organizations and individuals use digital platforms and media to communicate with audiences, drawing from business strategy, creative writing, design, law, and sociology. Unlike a straight marketing or media studies program, this one explicitly connects social media tactics to broader social impact and strategic business goals. It suits people who want to understand both the creative and analytical sides of digital communication, and who benefit from hands-on co-op work experience.
