COMMUNICATION<br />

For Professional, Academic, or Personal Development<br />

Communication courses are available during the day, evening,<br />

and on weekends. Courses are designed to meet general<br />

education requirements for an Associate in Arts (AA) degree<br />

and/or equivalent transfer requirements for universities.<br />

Courses may also be taken for academic or personal<br />

development.<br />

Careers in Communication<br />

Communication majors today find high rates of employment in<br />

a wide variety of fields including public relations, law, teaching,<br />

consulting, human resources, mediation, and business. A<br />

communication degree provides a person with skills highly<br />

desired in today’s economy, which include writing, listening,<br />

and public speaking; critical thinking; research; and small group<br />

collaboration. Professional positions in communication usually<br />

require a Bachelor’s or post-graduate degree. The outlook for<br />

communication majors remains high in this age of information.<br />

Communication Majors<br />

A student may graduate with an AA Degree at <strong>Phoenix</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />

It is required, however, that communication majors transfer to a<br />

four-year college or university to obtain a bachelors degree in<br />

communication. Communication majors are strongly<br />

encouraged to meet with Doris Sleeper, Communication advisor<br />

at <strong>Phoenix</strong> <strong>College</strong>, in order to meet the requirement needs of<br />

your chosen four-year institution. Accurate advisement now<br />

will avoid transfer problems later. For details, contact Ms.<br />

Sleeper at 602.285.7861 in the Advisement Center.<br />

ENGINEERING<br />

Engineering is the profession in which a knowledge of the<br />

mathematical and natural sciences gained by study, experience,<br />

and practice is applied with judgment to develop ways to<br />

utilize, economically, the materials and forces of nature for the<br />

benefit of mankind. Engineering education requires four or<br />

more years of study to attain the skills required to become a<br />

member of this profession. <strong>Phoenix</strong> <strong>College</strong> offers the first two<br />

years of core courses along with additional prerequisites which<br />

may be transferred into engineering programs offered at fouryear<br />

institutions. <strong>Phoenix</strong> <strong>College</strong> works directly with all of the<br />

Arizona universities to ensure that the lower division courses<br />

taken here will transfer directly into their engineering programs.<br />
