Communication

Ours is the information age. Analyzing how information is gathered, produced and
distributed today helps you understand the communication processes that drive a variety
of settings: social, cultural, political, economic and legal. In this program, you also evaluate the nature and impact of new media, such as the internet, arguably the most powerful communication tool of our times. The Department of Communication offers courses in
the two main areas: media (press, video production, multimedia, etc.) and organizational communication (communication in public and private organizations, public relations, group dynamics, etc.). Combining theory and practice, our programs develop your critical and analytical skills and prepare you either for a professional career or for advanced studies.

The Department of Communication also offers a new minor in film studies. In this program, you can explore the major trends that have shaped the seventh art from its birth to its current state. Made up of courses not only from various departments at the Faculty of Arts (Communication, English, Français, Modern Languages and Literatures, Music and Visual Arts), but also from Saint Paul University, the program is designed to give you the knowledge you need to better appreciate the world's greatest cinematographic works and the legacy they've left for all humanity. What's more, as globalization transforms the world and as cultural products cross borders at increasing speed, cinema is both a particularly effective tool for helping us to know ourselves and others and a catalyst for more productive personal and cross-cultural understanding and dialogue.
