Communication

Program Goals Statement

Students explore the fundamentals of human communication in theory and practice, analyze the historic and contemporary role of mass media and emerging new media in an increasingly diverse society, develop communication skills, and prepare to transfer to a four-year college or university communication program.

Program Information

This transfer program is designed for students who plan to transfer to a four-year institution to complete their baccalaureate program. Based on advising and assessment of individual needs and direction, students may select a cluster of communication-related courses and gain practical experience through field-based learning. Students gain marketable skills from professors who engage students with tangible examples from industry experience.

Hints for Success

Follow the recommended course sequence and meet with your communication program faculty advisor as needed throughout each semester.
