Following up on an agreement reached in 2022, Collège La Cité and Université de l'Ontario français (UOF) are expanding their partnership to facilitate new transfer pathways for students in their communication programs.
While a partnership already existed for the Digital Media and Communications Techniques program , the new agreement now extends pathways to La Cité's programs in Media Content Creation, Journalism, Advertising and Marketing Communications, as well as Public Relations.
Graduates of these programs who meet the admission requirements will now be able to enter the third year of the Specialized Bachelor's degree in Communication and Digital Media at UOF. This will allow them to combine the technical expertise acquired at La Cité with the university training focused on analysis, strategy, and digital innovation offered by UOF. Thanks to the recognition of their college diploma and the university equivalencies granted, these individuals will have the opportunity to earn a dual degree in four years of study, optimizing their academic paths while consolidating their skills.
This new 2+2 partnership agreement strengthens collaboration between the two institutions and promotes access to university studies in French.
"The expansion of the agreement concluded in 2022 confirms, once again, the alignment of the programs of UOF and Collège La Cité, allowing students of the College to access a bachelor's degree in Communication and Digital Media in two years," argues Hela Zahar, head of the Digital Cultures studies department at UOF.
"This agreement promotes student mobility and allows students to obtain a specialized bachelor's degree while recognizing the practical training already acquired at the college level," emphasizes Lynn Casimiro, President and CEO of Collège La Cité. "This partnership with the Université de l'Ontario français allows our students to develop solid skills in a constantly evolving field."
Through this enhanced agreement, the two institutions reaffirm their commitment to student success and the vitality of French-language post-secondary education.
