The Faculty of Arts' Department of Communication provides multiple graduate options, including an MA in Communication (available with thesis or research paper), a coursework-based Master of Communication (MC) with optional co-op, and a PhD in Communication.
Through partnership with the University of Ottawa's Co-op office, the department offers limited co-op placements for MC students. Applicants must indicate interest in this option during admission. The co-op program enables students to gain professional experience through two paid work terms.
Additionally, the department contributes to the interdisciplinary Science, Society and Policy collaborative program.
The Master of Communication program specializes in two key research areas: media studies and organizational communication. Media studies explores both conventional and digital media, analyzing their content, operations, and broader social, cultural, economic, political, and regulatory dimensions.
Organizational communication investigates workplace dynamics, including team interactions, strategic communication planning across sectors, crisis management, public relations, and organizational technology applications.
