Are you concerned with issues of equity, justice, democracy, and citizenship? Unique in Canada, MPI is the only undergraduate program that gives you the opportunity to study the relationship between media institutions and social justice issues such as equity, democracy, class, race, and gender.
Students enter MPI after first year and take courses that investigate the ways in which contemporary social movements use and analyze media to further their causes. The program includes courses such as Alternative Media, Social Movements and Media, and Activism in Mainstream Media.
The program is for students who are interested in social action and making a difference in their community. MPI students are encouraged to put their learning into action outside the classroom. Several courses feature a service learning component, which involves volunteering with a community organization, and a practicum is required in the final year of the program.
MPI students will acquire an interdisciplinary education useful for those who plan to work with communication issues in civil society movements, the non-profit sector or the public service. The program also provides the necessary background for graduate work in media studies, communication and other disciplines.
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
