About

Programs in CCIT integrate theory and practice into a variety of dynamic programs with outstanding professors, staff and facilities. Consider areas such as the evolution of language; the impact of the printing press, television, recordings and computers on society and culture; and how technology, particularly digital technology, is shaping human communication. Our programs are highly flexible and facilitate interdisciplinary study across areas that are constantly evolving.

The programs offered by the Institute of Communication, Culture, Information & Technology (ICCIT) provide you with unique educational experience through a rich set of courses that range across a variety of disciplines and allows you to take advantage of the exceptional research and teaching resources of both UTM and either Sheridan College or the Faculty of Information at the University of Toronto.
