Students may select courses from Communications in general to fulfill requirements in a variety of programs or they may wish to concentrate in one of these four specific academic areas. Students specializing in these areas are generally working toward a bachelor’s degree and are planning to transfer to a four-year college or university. While at NMC, students may pursue a general liberal arts curriculum, with electives chosen from their area of interest.

During their first semester at NMC, students should consult counselors and faculty members in their field of interest to familiarize themselves with the requirements of the school(s) where they may complete their bachelor’s degree. Students may elect to stay in Traverse City and transfer to the University Center.
