Associate of Arts - Communication Studies

Communications studies encompasses a broad range of areas of human communications including interpersonal, small group, public speaking, mass media and multicultural communication. It uses theory and tools to analyze the differing contexts of communications and how social, political and media-based influences shape those contexts. Students explore how communication both shapes and is shaped by society and develop knowledge of the globalized and digitized dynamics of contemporary communication.
