Founded in 1965 as Communication Arts, The Department of Communication Studies at Concordia University was the first department to study the art of communication in Canada.
The Department offers undergraduate and graduate programs exploring a wide range
of interests in media analysis, critique and creation. Central to its programs of study is the integration of knowledge based in the humanities and liberal arts, the social sciences, and media practice.
Our Faculty have established international reputations as researchers and creators. Our students are selected from amongst the very best of the applicants to our programs. And, our Alumni are amongst the leaders in their respective fields of employment.
Over the last several years we have renewed our classroom and production facilities with emerging digital media tools and have recently moved into our new home: a fully networked 'smart building'.
Think media. Practice media.
