Communications
Overview
Communications involves the exchange of information from one person to
another. This process can take place in a verbal or written format. Our
classes are designed to help students build skills in:
- listening and speaking
- helping students prepare for success in a career
- building and maintaining supportive and effective relationships,
both personally and professionally
Students are expected to understand and use complex ideas
such as culture, values, assertiveness and research relevant information to
express information logically, giving a voice to their own beliefs and
ideas.
University Transfer
The class atmosphere is supportive of many university transfer programs. Classes are small
enough that students are likely to know each other by name, and tuition
starts at just 1/4 the cost of state universities for Maricopa County
residents.
We are also located along the
Light Rail
starter line at the 38th Street and Washington stop.
Course Offerings
We offer several different communications courses, including COM100
"Introduction to Human Communication." This course covers the speech
communication process and may serve as a prerequisite for understanding
higher-level courses that cover:
- Interpersonal Communication
- Public Speaking
- Intercultural Communication
