Liberal Arts and Professional Studies (AP) – Communication Arts

Print

This is a joint program with Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology.

Students in the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies may study concurrently towards an Honours BA or BA degree at York and a diploma or certificate in one of five areas of study in communication arts at Centennial or Seneca College. The following areas are available through the Community Colleges:

  • book and magazine publishing (Centennial - certificate)
  • corporate communications and public relations (Centennial - certificate)
  • creative advertising (Seneca - diploma)
  • radio and television broadcasting (Seneca - diploma)
  • broadcast journalism (Seneca - diploma)

Faculty of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies students in an Honours BA program are eligible for entry to the joint program after the successful completion of a minimum of 90 credits at York, and students in a BA program are eligible for entry after the successful completion of 60 credits at York. Only students in the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies are eligible for the joint program. Students in all major programs, with the exception of those majoring in BAS, BHRM and SOWK, are welcome to apply. All students must complete the requirements for an Honours BA or BA degree in the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies. The joint program normally takes one year longer to complete because some advanced standing credit is given by York and the college, if conditions are met.
