Speech Communication Studies, A.S.

This plan of study was developed as a guideline for students who plan to transfer to an Alabama public four-year institution and pursue a degree in Speech or Communication Studies. Students who plan to transfer to an out-of-state or private institution should consult that institution and plan their program of study in consultation with speech faculty advisors and/or counselors. This program is available on the Sparks and Wallace Campuses. Upon completion of courses listed below, the transcript will reflect either an AA or AS degree without reference to the specific program of study.
