Students should understand the functions of the communication process as they pertain to improving oral communication in various communication contexts, including public speaking, |
interpersonal communication, |
|
|
and small group communication.

The core speech courses provide degree-seeking students who are transferring on to baccalaureate programs with a solid foundation in communication competence. The core courses also prepare students in two-year degree programs by providing them with a general education in speech communication. |
