The Communications department offers courses that focus on professional, technical, and electronic communications. These courses are an important part of many UCFV programs, including Adult Education, Agriculture, Aviation, Business Administration, Child and Youth Care, Computer Information Systems, Criminal Justice, Early Childhood Education, Kinesiology and Physical Education, Media and Communication Studies, Social Services, and Trades.
Some courses listed as electives for UCFV programs are required by professional associations and societies, or transfer to university programs. Students should contact the department for information on these courses or see an educational advisor or refer to the Provincial Transfer Guide.
All of the courses offered by the department are also available as contract offerings, especially CMNS 099, 125, 155, 251 (formerly CMNS 250), and 345. Please call the department head for more information.
All Communications courses (except CSM 104, CSM 108 and CMNS 115) require some proficiency with email, web-based research, and word-processing packages. CMNS 125, 155, 251, 325, and 360 are offered online, as well as in classroom format.
