4.2.1 BA and BA Honours in Communications Studies

Introduction

Communications Studies is an interdisciplinary program which explores how communication constructs and reflects society and culture. The program emphasizes three interrelated areas of Communications Studies: traditional media and new media; rhetorical communication; and discourse on science and technology. The program aims to educate flexible and articulate analysts, researchers and practitioners for a wide range of academic, public and professional contexts. It provides graduates with the knowledge, skill and discernment to communicate ideas effectively and to investigate communication in and across a variety of media including speech, writing, television, film, radio, digital media and interactive entertainment, the internet, and wireless networks. Our co-operative education and experiential learning opportunities enable students to develop and apply their skills in non-academic contexts.
