A word from the Chair
Welcome to the Department of Communication!
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Department of Communication!
The study of communication is essential in the heart of a society that is changing, global, diversified and “on-line”. Our curriculum, English and French-oriented, are designed to reflect the challenges that underline these social transformations.
Thus, our degree programs are geared towards the acquisition of theoretical knowledge and practical expertise in two key areas of communication: media studies and the study of organizational communication. Note that the degree programs with specialization as well as the communication degree offer a cooperative education option which allows students to complete four paid internships in the private or public sector.
We also offer a bachelor's degree in journalism and a bachelor's degree in public relations; both are in conjunction with La Cité collégiale (French section) and Algonquin College (English section). Finally, we also offer the option of a minor in Film studies, consisting of courses from various departments of the Faculty of Arts and the Social Communications program of Saint Paul University.
In addition to undergraduate programs, the Department offers a strong background in communication research as part of its graduate programs. Students can select, among other things, a master's degree - with thesis or dissertation, or courses only - or opt for a graduate certificate offered for a period of one year full-time. The graduate training offers more in-depth knowledge and explores research topics related to media studies, organizational communication, government communication, communication and health and the identity and diversity in communication.
I invite you to visit our website to discover the many learning opportunities available to you. We look forward to welcoming you!
