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.	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 people communicate through writing, journalism, and digital media in the modern world. This co-op program includes mandatory work terms at media companies or communications organizations, so you alternate between semesters of classroom learning and paid professional experience. It suits students who want hands-on practice in the media industry while earning credits toward their degree.
