Associate in Arts in Communication Studies

at Ohlone College

The Associate in Arts in Communication Studies is designed to provide students with the fundamental understanding of the principles of speech communication as well as experience in the application of these principles. Courses prepare students for transfer to baccalaureate 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 baccalaureate institutions. Some variation in requirements may exist at a particular baccalaureate college or university; therefore, it is essential that students also refer to the catalog of the prospective transfer institution and consult a counselor.
