Program Overview
Media and communications are essential to organizations, workplaces and social movements today. The Bachelor of Communication and Media Studies (B.CoMS) features an academic curriculum focused on pressing social issues.
Foundations for Success
Core classes provide a strong understanding of media institutions, technologies and policies. As a BCoMS student, you will develop the critical thinking, research and communication skills to be an informed and effective user of media in your professional life and as a citizen. You’ll develop transferable knowledge and skills to launch your career through experiential learning, community-engaged courses and hands-on media practice workshops like digital media production, social media analytics, speechwriting, public engagement and event management.
Tailor Your Program
We offer a broad range of courses on topics ranging from urgent social issues like public health, climate change and digital disinformation to the past, present and future of the media technologies you encounter every day. You can further customize your Honours degree by adding the Certificate in Science Communication or a minor.
Work Experience
A Co-op option is available. Co-op is the opportunity to get a head start on a career. Co-op work terms allow for the development of key employability skills, exploration of career options and graduation with tangible, workplace experience. You might also consider the opportunity to work closely with a faculty member on an independent research project, or go on an international exchange.
Exceptional Resources and Student Life
The BCoMS program is a vibrant community for you to develop personally, academically and professionally. Join the student-led Carleton Communications Society to make friends and connect with future colleagues. Take advantage of opportunities across campus and in the community. Our prime location in the nation’s capital puts you at the centre of decision-making about Canada’s communications and media landscape.

International High School Students
If you have been admitted to Carleton with an admission average of 80 percent or better and meet language requirements, you will automatically be considered for a renewable entrance scholarship. The admission average we use is calculated from the marks submitted by your high school in support of your application. Entrance scholarships are offered for fall entry only. You may be offered a renewable entrance scholarship provided you are entering Carleton for the first time and have no previous attendance at post secondary educational institutions (college or university). If eligible when admitted to Carleton, the scholarship value will be determined by your admissions average as calculated at the time of admission. Entrance scholarship offers are not assessed or reassessed on final high school grades.
