| What it is | Professional Communication teaches you how to write, speak, and present effectively for real workplaces — covering writing for media, digital platforms, business, and public relations. Unlike a general media studies program, this one focuses on practical skills employers want: clear messaging, audience analysis, and professional communication strategy. It suits people who are strong writers, comfortable speaking in front of others, and interested in working for organizations, companies, or media outlets where clear communication matters. | This program combines the study of economics and political science, so you learn how money, markets, and government systems work together in society. Unlike taking these subjects separately, you examine them as interconnected fields — how policy decisions affect economies and vice versa. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom study and paid work terms, giving you real-world experience in government, policy organizations, or research institutions. This suits people curious about social issues who want both theory and practical skills. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
