The department currently offers courses in two streams: Media Studies and Professional Communications.


Media Studies

Our Arts courses focus on media analysis and offer students the opportunity to critically examine cultural messages in everyday life. The Department is committed to helping students develop competency in media literacy and to allowing students to link course material to their lived experience.

These courses can be counted toward the Associate Degree of Arts. In the completion of that degree, students may choose to complete an emphasis in Communications.

These courses are fully transferable to universities throughout British Columbia. For full details of university transfer credit, please visit http://www.bctransferguide.ca/
