The Liberal Arts: Humanities and Social Sciences Communications Concentration A.A. program prepares students for academic success in baccalaureate transfer programs in liberal arts disciplines. This concentration meets the SUNY Transfer Paths for communication that satisfies the common lower division requirements shared by all SUNY campuses. It also meets the transfer paths for related communication fields such as media management, communication studies, broadcast and mass communication, communication-public relations, and communications and information design. By providing students with courses that offer a diverse set of global and cultural perspectives, the program expects students to explore and reflect on human endeavors in the context of nature and society.
