Students in the Communication and Digital Media Studies Bachelor of Arts degree program hone professionally relevant communication and creative skills while learning about the roles, messages and impacts of social media, entertainment, advertising, and the news in society.

In the Communications and Digital Media Studies (CDMS) program, students will develop specialized knowledge about the fast-changing communication and digital media environment in which we live, work, shop, and play, analyze the social dimensions and impacts of many media forms and hone professional communication and digital media skills linked to thousands of new and exciting careers. Students will become strong communicators who are able to present ideas in a variety of forms such as research essays, case studies, journals, blogs, videos, digital stories, memes, and mini-TED Talks.

A limited number of fourth-year students have an opportunity to participate in a learning experience with a community organization. The practicum is an experiential learning tool that provides students with opportunities to acquire workplace skills and knowledge, confront the relationship between theory and practice, and cultivate a sense of personal and professional development. The practicum course consists of 100 hours of fieldwork, several in-class seminars and a set of academic assignments.

I would probably avoid Oshawa, which is where you'll be if you study arts or social sciences. Hard core science happens on the main campus. I had a good experience with profs and classes, but I think friends at bigger older universities got more out of the student experience than I did. Tour the campus and speak to students, find them online or in the student database. Overall, having a good ride here.

Very excited to get a job offer before even graduating. Not an internship. Just straight to a great job in IT at a great scale up. The education, the profs and instructors, the students and student support were all top notch. This school is young but deserves a better reputation. I know this takes time, but I hope people consider Ontario Tech University as a promising startup and join the great people here.
