Program of Study - Communications & Media

This program offers tools with which to understand media and to under stand how media functions, all in the context of a well-rounded Christian education. Students are encouraged to explore and analyse cultural artefacts such as television programs, movies and popular music in the context of interdisciplinary theory. The program includes introductory courses in Communications Theory and the world of Visual Communications, as well as courses focusing on the various media: Television, Film, Photography, Print and Radio. While the program does not include expansive professional training in media production, courses on global journalism, writing for the media and speaking in public will give students a foundation upon which to build practical skills.

Communications and Media at Providence is about media literacy as a foundation for further work in the field of media and communication. Understanding the media is integral to creating meaningful media. This program prepares students for employment in areas such as Canadian main stream media, government policy creation, or for further studies either in media production or in Communications and Media Studies at a graduate level.
