Overview

Communication skills — listening, writing and speaking — are invaluable in every career field, and form the foundation for success throughout life.

It might seem like communication is a hybrid of English and mass communication. In a way it is, although Waubonsee’s Communication Program has a broad scope that makes it an appropriate starting point for numerous career paths in almost any industry, as well as a springboard to a bachelor’s degree.
