Communication College of Arts and Humanities Department of Communication Vincent L. Bloom, Chair Speech Arts Building, Room 15 (559) 278-2826 FAX: (559) 278-4113 http://www.csufresno.edu/comm/ B.A. in Communication M.A. in Communication Minor in Communication Single Subject Teaching Credential in Speech/English Communication Skills for Professionals Certificate Arts and Humanities 2002-2003 California State University, Fresno General Catalog 157 Career Opportunities In the new millennium, a degree in com-munication opens a great number of career doors. Increasingly, we see a wide variety of job descriptions across professional dis-ciplines which list competence in communi-cation as the highest priority. An essential goal for us is to help you develop as a competent communicator. In addition, we try to provide an educa-tional base for our majors and minors for specific careers requiring competencies in oral and written communication and in interpersonal and managerial situations. Communication graduates are employed as public relations consultants, personnel managers, political campaign directors, management analysts, teachers, counselors, lawyers, ministers, human resource spe-cialists, and marketing representatives. We offer students a discipline widely suited to today’s uncertain job market. National placement studies reveal that commun-ication majors are finding jobs with rea-sonably high job satisfaction and above average pay rates, and that their rate of promotion is significantly faster. The pursuit of a career is of great concern to students today, but it is important to recognize that the quality of your educa-tion will determine your success in life as well as how to make a living. More than half of college graduates do not enter fields directly tied to their majors. The Department Our aim is to prepare you to compete in, understand, and provide leadership in a communication-oriented society. We of-fer a balance of humanistic and scientific instruction in communication skills people need to function effectively in teaching, business, law, the communication profes-sions, public service and administration, the ministry, public relations, politics, and management. You have an opportunity to explore the full range of human communi-cation. Our major and minor are well grounded in interpersonal skills, problem-solving and decision-making methods, group and or-ganizational leadership, and intercultural interaction. We study issues such as how we perceive events, express ourselves ver-bally and nonverbally, and how communi-cation influences human behavior and so-cial change. We develop competence in oral and written communication, statistics and research methods (including using computers), and how to employ these skills in specific career areas. The Communication Skills for Profession-als Certificate program recognizes devel-opment in such areas as presentational speaking, problem solving and decision making, leadership, and interpersonal com-munication. Our program offers a variety of exciting activities to enrich your educational expe-rience. We have a fine intercollegiate fo-rensics program, which includes the Pro-fessional Communication Association, and a national communication conference each spring that brings scholars and students from around the country. We offer you personalized advising. Our major builds on a sound core of foundation courses and is completed by courses se-lected to meet your needs and career objec-tives. Our major requirements are flexible and easily integrated into a host of minors. We think your choice of an adviser is an important decision, and we encourage our students to pick their own adviser.
