MacEwan University's seventh degree, the Bachelor of Communication Studies will provide students with the essential skills of effective communication, combined with career specialization in two major areas: Journalism and Professional Communication. In a world where effective communication is increasingly important, skillful and creative professionals are in high demand. You will develop skills in

critical problem solving, global awareness and cultural sensitivity, information and research literacy, and ethical and professional practice. These competencies will bring career success in a variety of jobs: writer, editor, researcher, reporter, marketer, client or community relations practitioner, communications coordinator, public information officer, producer, social media contact, reviewer, analyst, commentator... and in many roles that have yet to be created.

"Fans are increasingly craving the story behind the score,” says Neill Fitzpatrick, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication. “Rather than just reading about Connor McDavid’s hot night or the Edmonton Elks’ latest signing, there is a strong desire for deeper analysis, richer context, and human-driven features.”

Explore the world beyond the scoreboard - the personalities, politics, culture, conflict and human stories that shape modern sport.

Taught by journalism faculty member Neill Fitzpatrick, this new Communication Studies course BCSC 399 gives students the opportunity to develop real-world reporting, interviewing, feature-writing and storytelling skills through the lends of sports media.
