The Department of Communication and Culture hosts programs in Communications Studies; Film Studies; and Science Technology and Society.

First-year students in all degree programs offered by the Department of Communication and Culture are encouraged to explore courses in a variety of areas. It is recommended that a first-year program include: General Studies 201 (strongly recommended) and at least two of the following:

• Communications Studies 201
• Film 201
• Science, Technology and Society 201

In addition, students should also select at least one full-course equivalent from the Faculty of Arts. Degree programs offered by the Department of Communication and Culture may include senior-level courses offered by other Departments either as core requirements or as options. It is therefore useful to take first-year courses from a variety of other areas.  In addition, students should normally select 1.0 full course equivalents from the Faculty of Science.

Students seeking advice on first-year course selection may contact the Communication and Culture Advisor or the Arts and Science Undergraduate Programs Office.
