Communication

Effective January 25, 2024, this award is no longer eligible to be declared as an intended program/major due to the expiration, by law, of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board’s (THECB) approval of the curriculum. Students that have already declared this intended program/major prior to January 25, 2024 MUST complete the award no later than August 31, 2025.  The courses in this program will continue to be offered by Collin College, but Collin College will no longer be able to award the Certificate after August 31, 2025.  Please see a Collin College advisor if you have questions.

Program Options

Certificate – Communications Field of Study*


*In July 2020, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) voted to further review the new Field of Study curricula that were scheduled to go into effect in Fall 2020. Collin College has five FOS Certificates that were affected by this action. The THECB action may limit the applicability toward the corresponding majors at state-supported colleges or universities. Students enrolled in one of these Field of Study certificates are encouraged to meet with an academic advisor and/or contact their transfer institution to make sure courses in the certificate will be degree applicable to their bachelor degree at the transfer university.
