What it is	You study how language works in real conversations and across different cultures, combining practical speech science with fluency in French or Spanish. Unlike a straight language degree, you learn the science behind how people communicate and understand each other across cultural boundaries. This suits people who want language skills tied to how humans actually use them, rather than pure translation or literature focus.	This program combines the study of French language, literature, and culture with media and communication theory and practice. You'll analyze texts, develop writing skills in French, and learn how messages work across different platforms and audiences. It suits students who want to understand both French expression and how communication shapes society, and who value workplace experience through the integrated co-op option.	This program combines business studies with social sciences — covering how companies interact with society, economics, politics, and culture. Unlike a straight business degree, you study sociology, communication, literature, and politics alongside core business courses to understand the human and social side of organizations. It suits students interested in business who also want to explore ethics, culture, and how society shapes markets.
