About the Program Options

Communication Studies is a four-year program leading to a Bachelor of Arts. The degree is a cooperative program of courses offered at Huntington University and Cambrian College in Sudbury, Ontario. Students starting their degree at Huntington University have the option to choose a fourth-year focus in journalism, public relations or advertising at Cambrian College. If you want specific practical training in the communications industry, consider taking the professional
option.

There is also the option of enriching your degree by taking advantage of the newly created fourth year Honours degree. An Honours degree in Communications Studies is excellent preparation for graduate school, but students may also be interested in pursuing this option for the opportunity to develop thesis work in close consultation with a supervisor in the department.

Graduates of Cambrian College’s programs in journalism, public relations, advertising and graphic design may also take advantage of our program in Communication Studies. Students who enroll through this option will complete a set of core communications courses, offering academic breadth and depth that complement the professional formation received at Cambrian College.
