By studying how information is collected, produced and disseminated today, you will better understand communication processes in different contexts: social, cultural, political, organizational, economic and legal. In this program, you will notably develop critical thinking in order to evaluate the nature and impact of technologies in today’s society, in organizations and on our interpersonal relationships. You will have the opportunity to be exposed to the most recent developments in the field of communication (communication strategies, digital media, evolution of the media industry, advertising, crisis communication, negotiation, etc.). The courses touch on the two main areas of communication: media study and communication.
