In most cases: If you apply to only 1 Brock program but do not qualify, you will be considered for an alternative or related program.

What it is	Integrative Arts is a studio-based degree where you create work across multiple art forms — like film, photography, digital media, and performance — rather than specializing in just one. You study both the creative production and the critical theory behind media and communication, so you learn to think about why and how art works, not just how to make it. It suits people who want flexibility to explore different artistic practices and aren't sure yet which medium they want to focus on.	You study how organizations communicate with audiences through writing, media, and strategic messaging, blending business fundamentals with communication theory and practice. This program includes mandatory work terms alongside your classes, so you alternate between campus and paid jobs in communications roles. It suits people who want to work in corporate communications, marketing, public relations, or media while gaining real workplace experience.
