Media and Communication Studies minor
The MACS minor is an appropriate complement to several majors offered at UFV. For example, students may wish to combine it with the
sociology or sociology/anthropology majors offered by Social, Cultural, and Media Studies, or with an English or psychology major.
Students seeking careers in the technical areas of media production will find these courses very valuable, but will need courses from elsewhere to provide instruction in the mechanics of production. For example, while the film industry in Canada is studied, film-making is not.
