Communications
The Associate of Arts Degree in Communication prepares students for a host of engaging, dynamic careers running the gamut from sales and public relations, the ministry, corporate advertising and education to the "glamour" careers in media like video journalism, broadcasting and videography.
As an academic transfer degree program, LSC-O's communication curriculum is designed to help students who wish to pursue bachelor degrees in communication, but in so doing, it simultaneously prepares them for a number of very different career paths including performing and media arts, publishing and literary arts, teaching and educational administration, and several lucrative career branches in business and industry.
Faculty in LSC-O's communications program have prepared and mentored students who went on to become living testimonies to the power of effective communication. Included are a pharmaceutical sales rep with a multi-million-dollar territory, a CNN video composition specialist, a spokesperson for a multinational manufacturing and retail firm and an up-and-coming radio personality to name a few.
