Bachelor of Arts (BA) Majoring in Communication Studies

What will I learn?

Communication Studies is online, interactive, and connected. Society is in the midst of a fundamental shift in how we communicate with each other, access information, and view popular culture.

As a Communication Studies student on our Saint John campus, you will cast a critical eye on the impact of new technologies and processes on our social, political, economic, and cultural landscapes.

Unlike many similar programs, which focus on one discipline’s perspective, our program is multidisciplinary. This means you’ll learn about complex topics from multiple fields of study and perspectives, including Sociology, Psychology, and History.

Small classes led by accomplished academics and media practitioners will provide you with a unique amount of attention, encouragement, and mentorship.
