Questions?
You may be thinking to yourself, "I can't possibly do this with my existing schedule."
Chances are, you've already taken Speech 100 or another communication course to fulfill existing requirements. The other credits can fulfill elective or Humanities credits and will transfer into nearly any degree program. Also, Speech 210 and 213 transfer to the University of Washington, and to many other schools, as specific courses and not just as general credit.
And, remember, you have the opportunity to take the courses in an "alternatively scheduled" format, such as hybrid versions, which often have only five to eight total class meetings.
Don't miss this opportunity to give your future a permanent professional boost.
