| What it is | This program combines the study of how people create, share, and interpret information across media and cultures. You'll choose from areas like creative writing, media studies, publishing, and information technology, rather than specializing in just one. The co-op option lets you work in communications or tech roles while you study, which suits people who want real-world experience alongside their degree and flexibility in choosing which communication field interests them most. | Labour Studies examines how work, employment, and workers' rights function in society through the lenses of politics, human resources, and social policy. Unlike a general business degree, it focuses on labour relations, workplace justice, and policy rather than management techniques alone. This program suits people interested in union work, employment law, labour advocacy, or human resources roles where understanding worker perspectives matters. | 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. | You study core business subjects like accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources, alongside economics and psychology. This program includes a co-op stream, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. It suits people who want practical business skills and prefer learning by doing, not just theory. |
