Speech communication classes are an important
part of the curriculum at most four-year institutions and taking
them at CHC is a great way not only to improve your skills, but
also save money. All speech communication courses, except SPEECH
050, have been approved for transfer by the California State University
(CSU).
All schools in the CSU system, including Cal
State San Bernardino, Cal Poly Pomona, Cal State Fullerton and Cal
State Long Beach, require students to complete a course in oral
communication. Whether you are using the "CSU GE" or "IGETC" requirements,
oral communication is included in the first area. Most students
take SPEECH 100, Elements of Public Speaking, to fulfill this requirement,
although you may also choose to take SPEECH 111, Interpersonal Communication
or SPEECH 140, Small Group Communication.
Other speech classes satisfy other CSU general
education requirements as well. SPEECH 120, Oral Interpretation
of Literature fulfills a general education requirement in humanities
(arts/literature/philosophy /foreign language); SPEECH 140, Small
Group Communication, is an alternative to health and physical education
courses for the CSU's "Lifelong Understanding and Self Development"
requirement; SPEECH 125, Critical Thinking through Argumentation
and Debate fulfills the general education requirement for critical
thinking; and both SPEECH 135, Mass Communication in Society, and
SPEECH 174, Communication in a Diverse World satisfy a social science
requirement for students transferring to both UC and CSU.
The schools in the University of California
system, including UCLA and UCR, do not require students to take
an oral communication course. Most of CHC's speech communication
courses, however, are approved for transfer as elective credits
to UC and taking a communication course will certainly benefit you
during your education at UC, in your career and beyond. If you are
planning to attend a private university, such as University of Redlands
or USC, or an out-of-state school, it is recommended you contact
them directly as to their oral communication requirements. |
