| 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. | This program combines the study of how people and institutions communicate with the analysis of political systems and power. You'll take courses in both media studies and politics, learning how messages shape public opinion and policy. It suits students interested in understanding the relationship between communication and government, or who want careers in political communications, journalism, or policy analysis. |
