Hey all,

So, I'm a B.Sc. graduate and I've decided that I'd like to do a post-grad program in Corporate Communications. I've applied to the following (in order of preference):

1. Seneca - Corporate Communications
http://www.senecac.on.ca/fulltime/CCMC.html

2. Centennial - Corporate Communications and Public Relations
http://db2.centennialcollege.ca/ft/F...gram+Code=6417

3. Sheridan - Corporate Communications
http://www1.sheridaninstitute.ca/pro...scriptions.cfm

Questions:

(i) After looking at all three programs, it looks like Seneca's program is more theoretical, while Centennial and Sheridan are more practical. For example, it doesn't look like Seneca teaches students how to work with graphic design programs (Photoshop, etc.), while the other two schools do. And I'd really like to gain as much hands-on training as possible. Can anyone shed some light on whether there is in fact opportunity to work with such applications in Seneca's program?

(ii) Has anyone here actually gone through any of these programs? Are you happy with the jobs you've got now? What would you do differently, if anything?

(iii) The other attractive thing about Seneca is that it has articulation agreements with other Universities around the world. For example, if I graduate with a 3.5 GPA from Seneca's program, I could receive advanced credit transfer at RMIT in Melbourne, Australia. Essentially, I could receive my Master of Communication from RMIT in about 8 months (similar agreement with Rutgers University in the States). Does anyone know if Centennial / Sheridan have this kind of agreement with other universities?
