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 />
