| 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. | You study how organizations communicate with audiences through writing, media, and strategic messaging, blending business fundamentals with communication theory and practice. This program includes mandatory work terms alongside your classes, so you alternate between campus and paid jobs in communications roles. It suits people who want to work in corporate communications, marketing, public relations, or media while gaining real workplace experience. | International Studies is a degree where you combine courses from fields like economics, history, business, and development to understand global issues and how different countries interact. The iBA option includes a mandatory year abroad at a partner university, immersing you in another culture while continuing your studies, whereas the regular BA keeps you on campus. It suits students who want broader perspectives on world problems rather than specializing in a single discipline, and who are curious about how global systems actually work. |
