• Objectives
  The department offers a complete package of print, broadcast and computer training designed to meet today's needs and challenges. Classes are small, with workshops rarely exceeding 20 students. Faculty members are all experienced professionals, many of whom are still active practitioners in the field. The French proficiency requirement ensures that our journalism graduates leave Concordia functionally bilingual. As a result, our graduates are highly sought after by national news and information organizations.
