Information about the Department
***: Over fifty years ago in 1965, we launched our department as an experiment in higher education. It was a cutting-edge communication arts undergraduate degree that integrated media-making, communication theory, and media history. What was, at the time, an unusual interdisciplinary idea has grown to be a renowned forward-looking teaching and research unit, a bellwether for the future of communication studies and media training. We are proud of our graduates, some 5200 strong, who have taken their training to positions in cultural organizations, media industries, and governmental policy contexts. Our alumni have established themselves as influential media practitioners, cultural researchers, and scholars. And we continue to build our top-tier reputation with innovative courses and with a faculty of leading international scholars.

As part of our department, students experience a vibrant atmosphere of creative and critical activity.

The strength, accessibility, and collegiality of our faculty, and the excellent team of administrative, technical and teaching staff, make the Department of Communication Studies an inspiring platform for both undergraduate and graduate pursuits.

Our undergraduate and graduate programs explore a diverse range of approaches to media analysis, critique, and creation. Our undergraduate media-making courses train students in moving image, intermedia, and sound production. Our special expertise includes cultural theory, critical race studies, feminist media studies, media and cultural history, and game studies.

Several research groups - among which are the Feminist Media Studio, Media History Research Centre, Intersectionality Hub, engAGE and newly established Access In the Making (AIM Lab) and Digital Intimacy, Gender and Sexuality (DIGS) Lab - maintain our status as a major hub of knowledge creation.

Information about the Faculty of Arts and Science
***: The Faculty of Arts and Science was created in July 1977 through the merger of the former Loyola Faculty of Arts and Science, the former Sir George Williams Faculty of Arts, and the former Sir George Williams Faculty of Science.

Information about Concordia

Tiohtià:

ke/Montreal, on the traditional lands and waters of the Kanien'kehá:ka Nation, is historically known as a gathering place for many First Nations.

Today it is home to a diverse population of Indigenous and other peoples.

We respect the continued connections with the past, present and future in our ongoing relationships with Indigenous and other peoples within the Montreal community.

Building on the skills of our faculty and the strengths of Indigenous, local, and global partnerships, we set our sights further and more broadly than others and align the quality of learning opportunities to larger trends and substantial challenges facing society.
