Communication Studies
A.A. Degree
De Anza’s A.A. degree in Communication Studies provides
a foundational understanding of the discipline and a breadth of coursework that can transfer toward a bachelor's degree
in Communication Studies. Students develop knowledge
and skills in expressing ideas verbally and non-verbally;
learn to interpret, advocate and critically debate ideas; work productively in teams and groups; examine the role of culture in communication; and demonstrate the communication skills necessary to engage in personal, professional, civic and social relationships.
In addition to core coursework, students are required to declare a specialty area that allows them to make interdisciplinary connections and explore specific areas of interest. Contact
a full-time Communication Studies instructor to create a specialty area of study (minimum 12 units) at least two quarters prior to completing your course of study. Your specialty area description with signed approval from the Communication Studies Department must accompany your application for the A.A. degree.
Program Learning Outcomes - upon completion, students will be able to:
• Design and relate messages clearly and confidently.
• Use a range of speaking, listening and collaboration skills. • Think and engage critically in a wide range of discourse.
