Communication Transfer Major

Are you a people-person? Are you interested in the way communication shapes our personal, professional and public experiences? The Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree with a designation in communication may be for you! This degree is designed for you to graduate and transfer to a four-year institution to complete a bachelor’s degree in communication.

This two-year degree allows you to get a head-start on studying your area of interest while completing the rest of the general education requirements for an A.A. You’ll improve your communication skills by engaging in courses that focus on presentational speaking, interpersonal relations, small group interaction and intercultural exchange. As a graduate of this program, you can complete your bachelor’s degree within two additional years, which would qualify you to work in a variety of sectors. Communication graduates are employed in a range of fields, including public relations, corporate communication, advertising, marketing, business, non-profit, social services, media, journalism, politics, education and more.
