What it is	You study journalism — researching, writing, and editing news and stories for publication across different media — while also building skills in creative writing. This joint program with Centennial College combines theory at the university with hands-on training at the college, giving you both a bachelor's degree and a journalism diploma. It suits people who want practical newsroom experience alongside academic learning and who are ready for a structured two-institution pathway.	You study the history of visual art and design, learning to analyze images, objects, and cultural movements across time periods and societies. This differs from a studio art program because you focus on understanding and interpreting art rather than creating it yourself. It suits people who want to think critically about visual culture and understand how art reflects and shapes society.	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.
