What is the difference between Journalism and Communication Studies in university?

I applied to university for journalism but was transfered into communications studies, I'm wondering, what's the difference? I'm attending Carleton University in Ottawa but I can't figure out the difference between the two. On their website the school is the School of Journalism and Communication, but the only undergraduate programs they offer is bachelor of journalism and bachelor of mass communications. Is it mass communications I was offered into? Thanks :)What is the difference between Journalism and Communication Studies in university?
yea she's right, they put you into comm. I go to Temple U and its SCT (school of comm. and theater how confusing would that be for a journalism major haha). A bachelor in journalism isn''t just journalism you will be able to go into a sequence either mags, editor, newspaper. Mass comm. is more the study of and ways to reach a great amount of people.What is the difference between Journalism and Communication Studies in university?
Usually, Journalism os a specialty inside the Comm department. To begin with, all Comm students take pretty much the same classes. If you applied for Journalism, then you would be placed in the Comm program.



It might be that your school makes you complete a certain number of Comm classes before letting you specialize in Journalism. Here's a link to my Comm program, in case it helps you at all:
