Welcome to the Department of Speech Communication
Did you know that in most 4-year colleges, Communication Studies is an impacted major. This means that not all applicants who apply for the major are accepted. The more lower division preparation you have in Speech Communication, the more likely you are to move to the top of the list.
All of our speech communication courses are part of a dynamic and vibrant educational experience leading to improved personal and professional communication skills, greater self-confidence, and the potential to advance in your chosen field of study and/or career.
The Speech Communication Department offers CSU and UC Transfer general education course requirements, and general college transfer courses to most public and private four-year colleges and universities. Our instructors are committed to providing students with a theoretical understanding as well as the practical applications needed to succeed academically and professionally, and to compete in today's job market.
