Communication Studies (AA-DTA)

Communication Studies is the study of various forms of human communication in culturally diverse contexts. Studies in communication help us focus on how people negotiate their identities and voices in relationships and society. The program provides a firm foundation for students seeking a transfer degree to apply toward studies in communication and other social science and humanities fields at a four-year institution, as well as providing necessary skills and theoretical knowledge about communication processes as they apply in a variety of applied academic fields. The department provides a foundation for understanding how rhetoric, persuasion, and messages shape the world around us. Ultimately, studies in communication and culture helps students succeed in an increasingly multicultural, mediated and ever-changing world. 

Students wanting to transfer should work closely with an advisor at the baccalaureate institution they plan to transfer to before analyzing their education plan.
