What it is	You study the creative and technical craft of making films, from cinematography and camera work to storytelling and visual composition. Unlike a broader media studies program, Image Arts focuses on hands-on production skills and the visual language of cinema rather than theory alone. This suits students who want to create films themselves and are comfortable learning through doing.	You study how films and media are made, analyzed, and used in society. This program combines film history and criticism with hands-on creative work in video, photography, and digital media, rather than focusing only on theory or only on production. It suits people who want to understand both the artistic and technical sides of filmmaking and are drawn to creative storytelling across different media formats.	You study how organizations communicate with the public through traditional media, social platforms, and strategic messaging. This program emphasizes practical skills in digital content creation and reputation management alongside theory. Co-op is optional, letting you work terms at communications firms or in-house media departments alongside your coursework. This suits people who want to blend writing, digital strategy, and audience analysis rather than pursue journalism alone.	Film Studies teaches you how to analyze movies, television, and visual media critically, plus how to create your own films and photographs. You'll study both the technical and artistic sides of filmmaking, from cinematography to storytelling. This program suits people who want to understand how media shapes culture and who are interested in working behind or in front of the camera.
