AFTER LANE
According to The National Association of Colleges and Employers the "ability to verbally communicate with persons inside and outside the organization" is the number one job skill. At various times sources as diverse as the U.S. Department of Labor, Fortune 500, the Wall Street Journal, and human resource surveys have asserted that oral communication skills help students secure employment and successful job performance.
As you study Communication at Lane, you'll work on your two-year Oregon Arts Transfer Degree (AAOT), which will help you take the classes you need to transfer to a four-year institution to earn your degree and launch your career. Because the AAOT is a transfer degree, you’ll take a wide variety of classes in math, science, arts & letters, and more, preparing you for junior level status at most Oregon four-year schools.
