I’m trying to find the difference between the Visual Studies program offered at UofT and the Visual Culture and Communication program offered at UTM. Besides the course codes they are basically the same except for the pricing. The one offered at UofT is regulated is approx. $5,000 and the one at UTM is de-regulated approx. $10,000.
whyy?? thanks 🙂

Hmm… I think it’s because the Visual Culture and Communication program at UTM is a joint program with Sheridan College, which means that you are shelling out more for professional supplies and a joint college degree. (There is also a mandatory internship!) It also takes in digital photography, media and filmmaking, and god knows, those things can be expensive. The Visual Studies program at U of T proper is a strict studio art program, with less expensive supplies. Judging by both of their (horribly ugly!) websites, these things seem to be the major differences.
There’s a contact for the CCIT program, if you have any more specific questions.
