Dean's Message

 

Welcome!

It is an honor to welcome you to the College of Communications at Cal State Fullerton, a place I’ve proudly called professional home for the last 16 years and where I currently serve as interim dean.

Today, our college serves more than 2,600 undergraduate students and 170 graduate students in four academic departments: the Department of Communications, the Department of Human Communication Studies, the Department of Cinema and Television Arts, and the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders . Our dedicated and acclaimed faculty are accomplished teachers, scholars and practitioners. They teach curriculum at the forefront of our disciplines and lead programs tailored to student success and excellence.

For more than 30 years, the College of Communications at Cal State Fullerton has prepared students to be effective and ethical communicators. Our alumni are working in communications professions throughout Orange County, Los Angeles, the state of California, the nation and the world. You will see our alumni everywhere. They are at the reporting and production desks of news organizations, from local news sites to national broadcasting. They make up the creative, strategy and sales teams of public relations and advertising firms. They work throughout the entertainment industry, in television, film, and music, and in communications positions throughout advocacy, non-profit and corporate organizations. And they are professional practitioners in speech-language pathology, serving in clinics, schools, community centers, hospitals, and private practice.

Please take a moment to learn more about our programs, faculty, students and staff as your explore this website, and thank you for your interest in the College of Communications!
