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.
