Communications Studies

Communications Studies is a widely applicable and deeply challenging liberal arts degree that explores various forms of communication and their relationship to culture and society. In Communications Studies, you will use a variety of approaches to understand how knowledge and culture are produced and reflected in speech, writing, television, film, radio, digital media and interactive entertainment, the internet and wireless networks. Our program is particularly strong in critical media studies, rhetorical studies and discourse on science and technology.Students can choose between two degrees: a four year Bachelor of Arts (BA), or the Bachelor of Communications Studies (BCS) offered in partnership with SAIT Polytechnic. The BA offers more opportunities for academic breadth and depth while the BCS offers more training in professional skills to complement your academic experience.
