"When my university adventure started, I was amazed by how welcomed I was by my classmates and professors. Wherever I went, whatever I needed, there was always someone there to guide me throughout the process. Thanks to my professors, not only did I learn theories of communication, but I was also taught how to apply them when using popular social mediums of today."

- Sarah Alghoul

"Being a mature student, I found this program helped get me up to speed with being in an educational setting again. Any college student thinking of expanding their education should consider attending Ontario Tech University. The professors are great and knowledgeable. They are also very approachable…You don't have the feeling of just being another student or another number."

- Justin Christie

"I wanted to better understand the apps I was using and our communication environment, and this program was the perfect way to do that—whether it was about advertisements, social networking sites, news or influencers, I was learning about the digital media world."

-Rilita Theodora
