What is the Arts, Culture & Communication pathway?

Are you passionate about creativity, expression, and the power of communication? A career in arts, culture, and communication allows you to transform your passion into a fulfilling profession, and this pathway will help you get there. With the word “art” right in the title, it makes sense that art, both visual and performance, fits into this pathway. Likewise with communication. But what else fits into this category? Some other subject areas that are connected to this pathway are art history, languages, literature, philosophy, theater, music, writing, journalism, media creation and reporting, film studies, women’s and gender studies, and entertainment.
