Communication Studies Associate Degree

Associate of Arts

Communication is at the heart of everything we do. This program helps you get at both the why that is and the how of doing it well. This discipline dates back to the Ancient Greeks drawing upon the study of persuasion as well as some anthropology, psychology and sociology-applying those theories of human communication behavior to our personal and professional lives. Students take foundational courses in public presentation, group dynamics, interpersonal communication and communication theory. Once they have completed these core courses, students may then choose nine hours of electives suited to their own interests. Additional coursework includes social media and digital communication, intercultural communication, organizational communication, communication ethics, and leadership, just to name a few.
