Communication Studies
This program is designed as an interdisciplinary area of inquiry with a foundation in traditional rhetoric and contemporary social-scientific theories of human communication. The program is suited to the needs of both two-year students and students who wish to transfer with a major or minor in Communication Studies or related fields. The curriculum is intended for students who wish to develop a fundamental understanding and knowledge of the functions of communication in their daily life and in the fabric of society. A series of core courses is designed to provide students with the background needed to explore any of several fields in depth. Currently, these areas are public and mass communication, leadership and group communication, intercultural communication, and interpersonal/gender communication. Courses are offered in both day and evening format and at Rancho, Fontana, and Chino campus locations.
