About the Department
The Communication Studies Department program educates students in the methods of communication theory and application, providing a solid basis for students to go on to four-year programs in various fields related to the humanities and social sciences, or to a multitude of careers.
- The department faculty comes from diverse backgrounds and academic expertise, offering students differing perspectives and life experiences.
- The department offers two degree options and two certificate options to meet the academic and professional needs of students.
- The department provides opportunities for students to get involved outside of the classroom.

In addition, every year, the Communication Studies Alumni Speakers Panel connects students with former Gavilan College graduates that are now in their careers utilizing their communication degrees and certificates in gainful employment.
