Welcome to San José State University and the Department of Communication Studies! We're honored you chose communication studies as your major and look forward to working with you as you progress through your program of study. As a first-year student you'll want to:
Your first two years at SJSU you'll primarily focus on the requirements for your 39 units of Core GE (Basic Skills and Basic Knowledge of and Educated Person). We recommend that you take COMM 20, Public Speaking, and COMM 40, Argumentation and Advocacy (Area A1); COMM 41, Critical Decision Making (Area A3); and COMM 10, Communication and Human Relationships, (D1). NOTE: These GE courses do not count toward the major requirements. However, they will help you out when you take the upper-division courses required in the major. In addition, take 8 units of lower-division electives during your first two years at SJSU.
