Bachelor of Arts - Communication Studies

Prepare for a complex, changing world with a degree that gives students the skills and hands-on experience to build a successful career. 

UNB's Bachelor of Arts graduates know how to make a difference in their world. Their unique programs bridge fields of study and push the boundaries of traditional arts degrees. Get practical, hands-on experience that links classroom learning to the world beyond through community engagement in Saint John.

As a Communication Studies student on the Saint John campus, students will cast a critical eye on the impact of new technologies and processes on the social, political, economic, and cultural landscapes.

Topics include the decline of newspapers, radio, and television; the rise of Twitter, Facebook, and other social media; the impact of mobile computing; and the eternal question of ‘do people control devices or do devices determine who people are?’

Small classes led by accomplished academics and media practitioners will provide students with a unique amount of attention, encouragement, and mentorship.
