This undergraduate program leads to an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Communication from the University of Ottawa's Department of Communication. It examines how information is gathered, produced and distributed in the communication and information age, developing critical and analytical skills to evaluate the impact of technology and media on society, organizations and interpersonal relations. Courses are offered in two main areas: media studies, and organizational communication, covering internal and external communication in public and private organizations, health communication and organizational change, alongside topics such as communication strategies, digital media, the evolution of the media industry, advertising, crisis communications and negotiation. The program combines theory and practice to prepare graduates for careers such as government or community affairs, or for further graduate study. It totals 120 units over four years, is offered in both English and French, and includes co-operative education and French immersion options.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Ontario secondary-school applicants need English 4U (ENG4U) or Français 4U (FRA4U) as the only subject prerequisite; no other Grade 12 course is required. The published minimum admission average is 75%, calculated from the applicant's top six 4U/4M/DU grades including the language prerequisite. This line covers the great majority of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Social Sciences programs at the University of Ottawa, including single-subject majors, Honours variants, joint-honours combinations of two Arts or Social Sciences disciplines, and the general Interdisciplinary Studies (BA/BSocSc) credentials. Some programs in this group carry an additional stream (French Immersion, Co-op, or an In-Depth Experiential Learning Stream) that does not change the academic admission line. Meeting the minimum average does not guarantee admission where a program is oversubscribed. Applicants completing Environmental Studies without Biology 4U are advised to take a replacement course in first year.
