Bachelor of Communications & Media

How can humans use symbols, images, and sounds to create meaning that can be shared between groups and individuals? At what point do persuasive publications become propaganda? How are new social media impacting family dynamics in North America? Why will people share their private lives with strangers on the condition that the stranger holds a microphone?

In Communications and Media studies, students will be given a background in communications theory and the practical skills they need to be effective in the workplace. Students will be encouraged to confront the field's big questions about meaning, spreading information and ideas, the power of voice, and interactions between faith and professional practice throughout this process.

Canadian Mennonite University is an innovative Christian university, rooted in the Anabaptist faith tradition, moved and transformed by the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Through teaching, research, and service, Canadian Mennonite University inspires and equips women and men for lives of service, leadership, and reconciliation in church and society.

At Canadian Mennonite University, 'service, leadership and reconciliation' are personal and communal learning outcomes encountered within academic, personal and interpersonal, theological, artistic, physical, and environmental contexts. Education involves "building understandings" in ways that are about relationships as much as knowledge, for the sake of enabling us to see, engage, and share in a world that is as wondrous as it is strained and that ever calls for our best care and innovative capacities.
