For the past decade the program has only been available in French but this September, the English version will begin. Dr. Martin Blais, Director of the Social Communication degree, mused that the francophone program has developed its own dynamic over the past decade, partly through the mix of students from Ontario, Quebec, Africa and Haiti and partly from the intimate classes of 10 to 20 students.
It is his hope that the new English program will create its own dynamic.
“I want them to develop their own blend, their own stuff,” Blais said. “I want the students on the English side not to feel that it is a pale copy of the other side.”
Two professors have been hired to teach the English program.
