Welcome
to the Department of Speech Communication
The study of human communication is increasingly important in our global
society. In a recent survey of 1,750 New York City corporate CEOs, 79% of those
responding identified the "ability to express ideas verbally" as the most
important of the several qualifications used to screen and evaluate new
employees. Managers find themselves communicating about three quarters of the
time, and nearly two-thirds of the time it's verbal communication.
Wharton County Junior College does not have a major in Speech Communication, but
you can take several courses toward the degree here before you transfer to a 4
year program. We offer courses designed to develop skills which will facilitate
your effectiveness in the workplace and teach you how people in various social
contexts interact. In our research and teaching, we examine the modes of
communication, the contexts and settings of communication, how communication
skills are acquired, and how communication shapes societies and cultures.
