Program Overview

A communication course significantly enhances students' ability to communicate effectively. Strong communication skills are vital for success in college, enabling students to express their ideas clearly and persuasively to professors and classmates. This includes verbal, non-verbal, and written communication, all of which are essential in academic and future career situations.

Academic Plan

The Academic Plan is a semester-by-semester plan for the full-time college-ready student. Part-time students should work with an advisor to customize the map to fit individual needs. Students interested in a specific field of study within communication (advertising, marketing, public relations) should work with their advisor to tailor a plan to their needs.
