WE'RE BACK ON CAMPUS!
More than half our classes are now offered in-person at our Hayward campus. Please join us face-to-face in the physical world for the best learning experience you can have.

Media (print, TV and video, Internet and mobile), modes of communication (oral, written, visual), and contexts (face-to-face, mediated, public, and organizational) converge in our careers and daily lives. We offer the first state-university program in the Bay Area to cover this interrelated spectrum of today's communication in new and traditional forms.
