Program Overview
What our program's about
The focus of the Communication, Culture, Information and Technology (CCIT) program is on the generation, diffusion and social impact of new technologies, and how media and technologies interact with commerce, culture and communication.
Our curriculum
The CCIT curriculum first establishes a foundation of communication theory and then equips students with the technical proficiency and creative project planning skills necessary to translate that theory into practice in a variety of academic and professional applications, from research and instructional technologies to web design and marketing.
Gain a bachelor of arts and a certificate from one program
Our program offers an appealing opportunity for students to concurrently obtain both an undergraduate bachelor of arts degree at UTM and a Certificate in Digital Communications from Sheridan.
Stand out from the crowd
Experiential learning, in the form of the upper-level internship opportunities, further enhances eligible students' understanding of the essential role communication and its technologies play in industry settings. By presenting communication in this range of contexts and allowing for double majors and minors in other programs, the CCIT program gives students a breadth of knowledge that differentiates this program from other communications undergraduate degrees.
Program notice for Fall 2021
Don’t miss out! September 2021 will be the last opportunity to start our joint CCIT program with UTM.
Students currently in the program, and those starting in September 2020 and 2021, will have the same high-quality experience that Sheridan and UTM have offered jointly for the last two decades. The program will continue to run as usual for these students until their 2024 graduation. For more information, view CCIT Program Transition Details.

Program Transition
The final intake into the UTM/Sheridan Communication, Culture, Information and Technology program will be Fall 2021. We look forward to continuing to run the program jointly at both institutions until the final cohort graduates in 2024.
Every effort will be made through academic advisement and tracking to ensure that students have completed all required coursework at Sheridan by August 2024. In special circumstances, provision will be made through to August 2025 for students who require one or two additional credits to complete the Sheridan certificate coursework.
Below are answers to questions current CCIT students may have about the completion of their degrees.
Will I be able to complete my degree?
UTM and Sheridan are both committed to running the joint program to ensure that all those admitted to the UTM/Sheridan CCIT program prior to and including Fall 2021 will be able to graduate as long as all certificate and degree requirements are successfully completed. The Sheridan certificate curriculum, including all current courses, will remain available to students admitted to the joint program prior to and including Fall 2021; for these cohorts, there will be no reduction in CCIT courses as they move through the program toward graduation.
Will I still need to travel to both UTM and Sheridan during this transition period?
Yes. The structure of the CCIT joint program will not change during the transition period. Sheridan certificate courses will be offered at the Trafalgar Road Campus in Oakville, as usual.
What facilities will I have access to at Sheridan?
During the transition period, CCIT students will have the same access to Sheridan facilities as they have always had.
What will take the place of the joint program?
For first-year students enrolling at UTM in the Fall of 2021 and beyond, UTM will continue to deliver the Honours Bachelor of Arts CCIT degree. The curriculum will be revised to reflect evolving needs and interests, and to prepare students for the expanding range of opportunities for communication professionals.
Will I be able to take courses in the CCIT program after the transition?
At UTM, courses migrated from Sheridan to UTM will be equivalent to non-major elective courses — so yes, a majority of the courses will be available to Institute of Communication, Culture, Information and Technology students. At Sheridan, CCIT students will take only CCIT courses, as per past practice.
I have other questions. Who should I contact?
If you have any other questions that we haven't addressed here, please email Sheridan's CCIT Program Coordinator, Michael Jones.
