Purpose: People who can effectively communicate their opinions, thoughts and ideas can often outperform people who might have higher intelligence quotients but lack solid communication skills. The study of communication - sending and receiving messages, both verbal and nonverbal - is more important than ever in today’s fast-paced, collaborative, technology-driven society.
The Associate in Arts degree with an emphasis in Communication Studies is for students who want to complete a two-year program or transfer to a four-year college or university to pursue a Communications related bachelor’s degree. Students who obtain a degree in Communications enjoy a wide range of employment opportunities because hiring managers place such a high priority on communication skills (National Association of College Employers, 2014, as cited by Forbes Magazine, 2014).
