New Media Studies at the University of Toronto Scarborough (Joint Centennial)

This unique joint program offers the best of both worlds: the academic research strength of U of T Scarborough and the industry experience and reputation of Centennial's Centre for Creative Communication (CCC). You’ll master the techniques to create new digital representations and learn how to create media that impacts audiences in specific ways, in and out of academic settings.  

You can graduate with a degree and certificate by taking an additional semester at Centennial College, which give you real-world work experience through our field placement and professional practice course. Get hands-on experience working with sound design and using software for interactive media — they’re just a few of the ways you’ll gain a strong aptitude in using the most up-to-date digital technologies to bring your understanding of new media theories to life. Our program must be taken in combination with another major program in another field, meaning you’ll gain a broad range of expertise and a degree designed for you. 

There's no direct entry from high school; a minimum of one year of post-secondary studies is required. You will earn a U of T degree plus a Centennial College certificate.
