Note:
The Department of Communication Studies is one of the most quickly growing departments at York University.
If you're interested in studying radio, film, television, the print media or corporate communications, or if you're a fan of popular culture and current affairs, consider our popular Communication Studies program.
Communication Studies looks at how people gather, share, and use information, bringing together elements of the social sciences and the humanities under one central concern: the study of humans' communicative capacities. You'll examine the theoretical and historical foundations of media, theories of communication processes and the relationship between social, political and economic changes and developments in the communications field. You'll also explore the expanding world of interactive telecommunication networks and new media.
Possible areas of concentration include:
- Media
- Culture & Society
- Politics & Policy
- Interpersonal & Organization Communication
- Critical Technology Studies
Our graduates go on to careers in public relations, journalism, advertising, business, marketing, publishing, international relations, writing and radio or TV production.
