What you study	Media and Communication Studies	Creative Writing	Accounting Business Studies Economics Finance
What it is	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.	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 core business subjects like accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources, alongside economics and psychology. This program includes a co-op stream, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. It suits people who want practical business skills and prefer learning by doing, not just theory.
