About Associate of Arts - Communication Studies

The Communication Studies program's mission is to improve students' communication skills. Every course gives students the knowledge and experience they need to communicate effectively in a variety of contexts, whether at work, at school, or at home. Students learn how to critically analyze arguments, eloquently deliver information in both written and oral forms, and better relate to those around them.

The Associate in Arts in Communication Studies for Transfer, also called the Communication Studies AA-T Degree, is specially designed for students who plan to complete a bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies at a CSU campus. The intent of this degree is to assist students for a seamless transfer to a CSU campus in a program or major in Communication Studies. This degree requires students to complete 60 CSU transferable units including completion of CSU GE or IGETC and a minimum of 18 units in the major with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better. Title 5 requires that students must earn a “C” or better in all courses required for the major or area of emphasis. There are no additional graduation requirements. Students should consult with a counselor when planning to complete the degree for more information on university admission and transfer requirements.
