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 arts courses — drawn from fields like English, history, economics, and creative writing — with business studies to prepare you for careers that value both analytical and communication skills. The co-op option lets you alternate study terms with paid work placements at real companies, giving you experience before you graduate. It suits students who want a broader education than straight business but need practical skills for the job market.	You study a subject like economics, anthropology, or Chinese alongside teacher training, so you earn both a Bachelor of Education and a Bachelor's degree in your chosen field. Unlike a regular education degree, this concurrent program embeds your subject expertise from day one rather than adding it separately. It suits people who know they want to teach and have a clear subject they're passionate about.
