Journalism is Back!

The Bachelor of Arts in Journalism, News Media, and Communication is a restructured 4-year degree that replaces the 2 years of pre-Journalism, plus 2 years of the Journalism.

This degree is intended for individuals who may be interested in communications careers in literary journalism, digital journalism, social media, documentary production or Indigenous, non-profit, and corporate public relations. The program is direct entry, making it more accessible for students, and contains one term of an internship in a news medium (ex: online, print, radio, or television), or communications role.

The Bachelor of Arts in Indigenous Journalism and Communication Arts is a new 4-year degree offered in partnership with First Nations University of Canada. Indigenized media is a rapidly expanding professional field, with increased demand for Indigenous content across Canadian media platforms. There is currently no other degree available in Canada that is explicitly focused on Indigenous media, and in particular media in Indigenous languages. This degree is intended for individuals who may be interested in professional communications careers in treaty negotiations, social media, news industry, community communications, and marketing.
