This program leads to a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Communication and Digital Media Studies over four or five years, delivered in-class at the Downtown Oshawa campus, developing communication and creative skills alongside an understanding of the roles, messages and impacts of social media, entertainment, advertising and news in society. Students analyze the fast-changing communication and digital media environment and its social dimensions, and build professional skills producing research essays, case studies, journals, blogs, videos, digital stories and other media formats. Optional specializations include Artificial Intelligence for Professional Communicators, Creativity, Digital Arts and Entertainment Industries, Strategic Communications, Social Media and Society, and Video Games, Creative Industries and Society. A direct-entry co-op option offers full-time, paid work terms throughout the degree. It suits students aiming at careers such as journalist, content creator, digital storyteller, public affairs officer, or branding and social media specialist.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Current Ontario secondary school students must complete the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six 4U or 4M courses, including English (ENG4U). Admission is competitive: last year's cut-off was 70 per cent and the expected cut-off sits in the low 70s, so meeting the minimums does not guarantee a seat. Applicants whose first language is not English must present, within two years of the intake, IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, Duolingo English Test 120, PTE Academic 58, CAEL 70 with no band below 60, Cambridge English Advanced 180 with no band below 170, or Oxford ELLT 7, per the university's general admission requirements. The program begins each September and January.
