What it isCommunications 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.This program teaches you how to design clothing and accessories, market fashion products, and communicate fashion ideas through media. Unlike a pure design program, it combines creative skills with business and communication strategy, so you learn both how to make fashion and how to sell it. It suits people who want to work in design, branding, styling, or fashion media rather than just one of those areas.Social Communication is an interdisciplinary program that teaches you how to craft and spread messages across different media and audiences. You study journalism, marketing, media analysis, and publicity techniques together rather than in separate streams, so you understand how these fields overlap in real-world communication work. It suits people who want to communicate for organizations, media outlets, or campaigns and prefer a broad foundation over specializing in just one area early on.You study how organizations and individuals use digital platforms and media to communicate with audiences, drawing from business strategy, creative writing, design, law, and sociology. Unlike a straight marketing or media studies program, this one explicitly connects social media tactics to broader social impact and strategic business goals. It suits people who want to understand both the creative and analytical sides of digital communication, and who benefit from hands-on co-op work experience.
