Program details
Overview
Science Communication is Canada's first graduate program specializing in science communication, delivered through a partnership with Science North and training professionals to inform and engage diverse audiences with the processes, outcomes, and implications of science and technology. Instruction takes place on campus at the Vale Living With Lakes Centre and covers audience analysis, learning theories, communication principles, and design theory, alongside practical skill development in new media communication, exhibits, and traditional media production; all students complete a mandatory eight-week internship at an organization involved in communicating science. The Master's option totals 33 credits over 12 months, comprising eight months of in-person classes, a work placement, and a major research project; the Graduate Diploma option totals 27 credits over 8 months, covering the same in-person classes and work placement but without the major research project. Applicants require a minimum 70% GPA from a four-year Honours B.Sc., BAS, or B.Eng. degree, or a related discipline.
