Oral communication is basic to all human activity-to individualdevelopment, to interpersonal activity and to the functioning of all political, business, economic cultural and social institutions. Speech communication examines communication behavior with the goal of understanding the structure, patterns, and effects of human communication and of facilitating a higher quality of communication effectiveness both for individuals and for society. It seeks to improve individual abilities for public speaking, handling informal conversations, creating and maintaining healthy relationships, interacting with individuals from other cultures, solving problems in groups and reaching sound decisions, managing the communication dynamics of an organization and becoming effective producers and consumers of informative, persuasive and artistic messages. The mission of this department is to effectively teach these skills.

NoTE: The official abbreviation for Computer Science/Information Technology (CSIT) is “CO SCI”. If you have a talent for math and science our programs will prepare you to enter more advanced university programs or directly enter careers related to Computer and Information Systems, System Analysis, Computer Science, Database Administration, Computer Operations, Information Processing Services, Computer Software Engineering, Telecommunications, and Web Development and Technologies. According to the Department of Labor median hourly earnings for high demand occupations in technology and other computer fields at the entry levels range from nearly $12/hour to $26/hour. With advance training and or a Bachelors degree, salaries can exceed $42/ hour. The Computer Science Information Technology discipline program at
Los Angeles City College offers two Associate degrees that students can choose from depending on their career and educational goals. The first, Associate of Science in Computer Science, is designed for students with transfer goals to the Computer Science program at four-year universities. The second, an associate of science in Computer Information Systems, is designed to prepare students for careers in exciting Information Technology fields such as programming, software engineering, database administration, computer networking, multimedia, and web technologies. Students with interest in transferring to the Information Systems program at four-year universities should consult with the Computer Science department for needed course work. The following tables list the requirements for each degree. For information on general education courses, students are encouraged to see a counselor for advisement.
