We are the Communication Studies Department at LA Harbor College! We train students to become stronger communicators in personal, organizational, cultural, social and political contexts. We support students’ development of critical and analytical abilities, proficiency in public speaking, small group communication, intercultural communication, argumentation, new media and interpersonal skills.

Communication skills represent the number-one workplace ability sought by today’s employers.
