The Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Communication and Digital Media Studies at Ontario Tech University is designed for students eager to understand and shape the dynamic landscape of digital communication. You will explore how social media, entertainment, advertising, and news influence society, developing specialized knowledge in areas like communication and digital media theory, research methodologies, and the creative industries. This undergraduate program is ideal for those who want to critically analyze media's role, understand its impacts, and gain the skills necessary for a wide range of contemporary careers.
This full-time, on-campus program, studied over four years, offers a hands-on approach to learning. You will engage with subjects ranging from public speaking and multimedia presentation to communication ethics and strategic communications, often working with real-world briefs. A distinctive feature is the opportunity for fourth-year students to undertake an experiential learning practicum, contributing 100 hours of fieldwork with a community organization to bridge theory and practice. You will graduate with a strong portfolio and the professional communication and digital media skills sought after in fields like content creation, public relations, and digital strategy.
