Storytelling with Data is a unique, first-of-its-kind Ontario College Graduate Certificate program that will prepare you to work as a new kind of storyteller - those with the ability to incorporate human centered data analysis into their work.

Students will explore the persuasive combination of story and data across the creative and cultural industries, and beyond. Standout features of this unique program will include centering human stories and using data ethically in the Human-Centered Data Analysis and fairness, accountability, transparency and ethics (FATE) courses while telling stories using data across creative and cultural disciplines (including film, television, advertising, journalism, cultural management spaces, game and esports).
