Certificate in Conversational American Sign Language
A program of study leading to a Certificate in Conversational American Sign Language has become popular to many students
pursuing professional fields and other majors on campus. The demand for health and human services professionals who can
communicate effectively with deaf and hard-of-hearing children, youth, and adults has made sign language skills necessary.
Communicative Disorders Minor
A Minor in Communicative Disorders is also available for students in various education and health professions (nursing, health
science, physical therapy, counseling, elementary and secondary education, special education, child development, linguistics,
criminology, etc.) who are interested in expanding their understanding of children and adults with communicative disorders.
Facilities
As a student, you are given the opportunity to work in a well-equipped speech and hearing clinic. You can also gain practical
experience in a variety of school, private practice, and hospital settings. Library facilities contain specialized collections
including student access to local medical libraries. In the Anna Michelson Memorial Instructional Media Center, you have
access to a wide range of therapy production materials such as films, video, clinical equipment, and professional journals.
University Speech and Hearing Clinic
The department operates an ongoing clinic that provides diagnostic, therapeutic, and counseling services to clients of all ages
with a variety of different communication problems or disorders.
The clinic provides supervised clinical practice for students who are preparing to be professional speech-language pathologists
and educators of deaf and hard-of-hearing children. As a valuable community resource, the clinic serves thousands of clients
each year from the Fresno metropolitan area.

Degrees and Programs Offered
BA in Communication, B.A.
MA in Communication, M.A.
MN in Communication, Minor
Our aim is to prepare students to understand and provide leadership in a competitive communication-oriented society. We
offer a balance of humanistic and scientific instruction in communication skills people need to function effectively in teaching,
business, law, nonprofit organizations, public service and administration, public relations, government, and management.
Outside the workplace, these skills will also enhance students' ability to be active in civic engagement and community service.
Our program requires a comprehensive understanding of the breadth and depth of our discipline, as well as its major
theoretical frameworks and research methodologies. Both the major and minor are grounded in the fundamental
communication contexts including public, interpersonal, group, organizational, instructional, and intercultural communication.
Additionally applied contexts in business communication, gerontology communication, technology, and leadership are
available. Students investigate problems in diverse cultural settings, which make the San Joaquin Valley - with its tremendous
ethnic diversity - an ideal location for study.
The Communication Skills for Professionals Certificate program recognizes development in such areas as presentational
speaking, problem solving and decision making, leadership, and interpersonal communication.
Our program offers a variety of exciting activities to enrich students' educational experience. We have an active student
organization, the Professional Communication Association, and a debate team that participates in competitive intercollegiate
tournaments and hosts public debates on campus. Our annual Peach Blossom Festival brings more than 5,000 elementary-age
students to campus to present prose and poetry.
