The Associate Degree in Speech and Communication Studies is designed to provide students with fundamental understanding of the principles of speech communication as well as experience in the application of these principles.

Classes prepare students for transfer to four-year institutions and entry into careers in which effective communication skills are important, such as teaching, public relations, and law. This program fulfills typical lower-division requirements at four-year institutions. Some variation in requirements may exist at a particular four-year college or university; therefore, it is essential that students also refer to the catalog of the prospective transfer institution and consult a counselor.
