What it isThis 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 the craft of writing fiction, poetry, drama, and other creative forms, learning how to develop ideas, revise work, and understand what makes writing compelling. Unlike a general English program focused on analyzing literature, this one teaches you to create original work and get feedback from instructors and peers. It suits people who write regularly, enjoy imagining stories or experimenting with language, and want structured time to develop a portfolio.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.Communications at Glendon teaches you how media, visual culture, and marketing work in practice and in theory. You study cinematography and photography alongside media analysis and strategic communication, rather than pure theory or business skills alone. It suits people who want to understand how messages reach audiences across platforms and are willing to study in both English and French.
