Communications

The communication courses are intended to enable students to achieve the basic competencies, as defined by the state of Florida, necessary for speaking, listening, reading and writing in an organized and critical manner at the college level.

The ability to communicate at the level of a college educated person is a basic requirement for degree-seeking students. These courses are designed to help students improve skills measured by the Florida College Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST). Standardized entry assessment tests are used to determine course placement.
