SEARCH

Communication courses are perhaps the most practical and beneficial classes a student will ever take. The National Association of Colleges and Employers stress that out of all the fundamental skills recruiters seek in job candidates, at the top of the list -- was oral communication. As emphasis is placed on both small group and individual presentations, skills learned in communication courses will empower students to be successful in other college course work, and in their personal lives. In addition, these skills will help make students more marketable in the work force. A Communication component is required for all AA and AS degrees, and courses easily transfer to other universities and colleges. Listed below is the program of study for transfer majors.
