Cert in Communication and Media Studies

Communication Studies is a Certificate of Achievement at Modesto Junior College, housed in the School of Arts, Performance & Humanities. The award centers on 12 units of major coursework. The award strengthens communication ability in academic and professional settings and is meant for students from any major or career plan. Those in fields demanding strong communication may choose it instead of completing a full degree. As a certificate, the award is shorter than a degree and concentrates on a single occupational area. Some students use it to begin working sooner, while others pair it with existing credentials or treat it as a first step toward a longer program at the college. Students can contact the listed faculty for guidance on sequencing their courses. The college catalog holds the current course requirements and should be checked before enrolling.
