Students will learn to master interviewing skills, become adept at public speaking, and communicate effectively as a leader. Students will also study the dynamics of communication in their personal interactions, classrooms, workspaces, in their use of online and digital spaces, and more broadly in media and public communication.

Over the course of a student’s degree, they will hone their written and oral communication skills while developing expertise in teamwork, research, visual and digital literacy, and critical analysis — just the kind of skills that employers are hungry for. Choosing the co-op version will provide insights into possible careers and paid work experience along the way.

In the Communication Studies stream, students will focus on the art of speaking and communicating to audiences and in group settings. This major is broader and has more courses related to general business than the Communication Arts and Design Practice major.
