Dear CCA Colleagues,


I'm reaching out to request your assistance in spreading the word about Fall 2024 admissions for the Joint Graduate Program in Communication and Culture at Toronto Metropolitan University. (https://www.torontomu.ca/comcult/)


Many of our exceptional students have been referred to us by faculty members like yourself.


If you know students passionate about communication and culture, we appreciate your efforts in passing along this invitation and encouraging their application.


We invite you to share the following information with your senior undergraduate students and graduating Master’s students who have an interest in communication and culture.


Launched in 1999, the joint graduate program in Communication and Culture is a unique partnership between Toronto Metropolitan University and York University. Our students have access to the faculty and scholarly resources of both universities.

We are proud to offer both an MA and a PhD program, providing students with a range of opportunities to pursue their academic and research interests. Our MA and PhD students have the chance to major in one or more interdisciplinary streams:


Media and Culture: Focusing on the confluence of media and culture and their relationships within social systems.


Politics and Policy: Examining the critical role of the state and civil society in the development of communication systems, the production and distribution of culture, and issues of societal power.


Technology in Practice: Exploring the development, application, and influence of historical, current, and emerging communication technologies in cultural production, both personal and organizational.


Our program takes pride in the quality of our student research and academic achievements. On our website, you can read a sampling of student project abstracts<https://www.torontomu.ca/graduate/programs/comcult/research-creative/>. Additionally, please visit our People <https://www.torontomu.ca/graduate/programs/comcult/people/> page to review a selection of faculty and student research profiles.


We offer competitive funding packages, teaching and research assistant work opportunities, and strong support for external scholarship application success. For master’s students, there are for-credit field placement options, as well as opportunities to conduct scholarly research-creation and multi-modal scholarship projects. At the doctoral level, students also have the opportunity to engage in similar research-creation and multi-modal scholarship projects.


Your help in forwarding this information and encouraging participation would mean a lot to us. Interested candidates can also visit our admissions page<https://www.torontomu.ca/graduate/programs/comcult/admissions/> for an overview of the program and detailed application instructions.


Toronto is a vibrant, global city and is also known as one of the safest urban centres in the world. The city's central location means that students will have access to many resources, including adjunct faculty and visiting lecturers and exposure to many culture- and communication-based industries and activities.


We appreciate your time and effort in helping connect prospective students with our program, and we eagerly look forward to welcoming potential candidates to Communication and Culture at TMU.


Best regards,

Miranda Campbell
