Total Credits Required for Degree: 60*

**Indicates a General Education Elective

Depending on the General Education electives completed, more than 15 credits of Electives may be needed in order to reach a minimum of 60 credits for the degree.

*A new college orientation requirement, completion of the one-credit ACDV 101 course, Transitioning to College, went into effect spring 2010. If you are a credit student who is new to college (meaning you have not successfully completed college coursework at another institution(s)), you are required to take ACDV 101 during your first semester at CCBC, possibly increasing the number of credits required for the degree to a minimum of 61 credits. Students are required to provide an official transcript(s) to document successful completion of college coursework at another institution(s) in order for this requirement to be waived.

Transfer Pattern Outcomes:

Upon successful completion of this transfer pattern, students will be able to:

identify a variety of media distribution systems (books, newspapers, magazines, recordings, graphic novels, television, film, and digital media ) in terms of historic significance, audience, regulations, corporate structures, and career opportunities;
compare how each of the various media delivery systems requires attention to message and audience;
identify audience demographics and match distribution systems and messages to each audience;
incorporate effective research practices to gather information and synthesize the appropriate information relevant to the specialization of the student’s studies; and
demonstrate through written skills, oral or signed communication an understanding of effective staging of visual composition.

Transfer Pattern Description:

This degree pattern is a two-plus-two pattern designed to help students fulfill their freshman and sophomore year requirements at CCBC and directly matriculate through their junior and senior years in the University of Baltimore Corporate Communication program. To receive an A.A. degree from CCBC, a student must complete 36-39 credits of General Education and a minimum of 60 total credits as required by the Humanities and Social Sciences curriculum.

CCBC’s Corporate Communication pattern is coordinated with the University of Baltimore through an articulation agreement linking the two Corporate Communication programs. It is recommended that students who intend to major in the field should consult with the program coordinator at CCBC in order to choose courses that satisfy the University of Baltimore transfer requirements stipulated in the articulation agreement.

Mass Communications provides opportunities for students who wish to continue their studies at a four-year institution in fields such as studio production, film, electronic media, journalism, and disciplines in corporate communications such as advertising and public relations.
