Communication & Culture structures its courses around the following three [3] areas of study: Media & Culture: focusing on the confluence of media and culture and their relationships within social systems. Politics & Policy: focusing on the critical role of the state and civil society in the development of communication systems, the production and distribution of culture, and issues of societal power. Technology In Practice - Applied Perspectives: focusing on the development, application, and influence of historical, current and emerging communication technologies in cultural production, both personal and organizational. While students may take electives in all three areas of study, they must major in one and minor in a second. Courses are scheduled to minimize travel between campuses. To meet the needs of part-time students, some required or elective courses maybe offered in the evenings, but most courses are offered in afternoons. With permission, students may take courses offered in related graduate programs at York and Ryerson. The course descriptions serve as a guide to courses offered through the Joint Program in Communication and Culture, but students should note that not all courses will be offered every year. This guide only lists the various courses that have been offered frequently or recently. Courses offered subject to faculty availability and are subject to change without notice.
