Speech Department

Division of Fine Arts

The Speech Department offers courses which develop and enhance oral communication skills at all levels. In this rapid-growing, ever-changing world, the ability to express ideas clearly, concisely and with self-assurance is an invaluable tool to anyone regardless of his or her field of endeavor. Students can focus on interpersonal communication, persuasion, group dynamics and leadership, or can improve and enhance their vocal and articulatory control. In addition, the oral interpretation and readers' theatre courses give students a means of communicating the human condition both physically and verbally, while helping them to develop a strong stage presence.

Saddleback College won its first national championship, not in a sports arena, but in a speaker's forum. Since capturing this national title in 1982, forensics students have won numerous regional and state speech and debate competitions, and have consistently placed in the top 10 in national tournaments. Saddleback's forensics program teaches students how to express themselves effectively, concisely, and with confidence, all of which leads to success in the classroom, the job interview, and the work place. Good public speaking and debate skills are particularly helpful to students considering careers in law, politics, business, and mass communications.
