The curriculum at Southwestern College takes into consideration the abilities and skills each student brings to the program, and offers coursework avenues uniquely suited to students with those varying skills. These avenues are referred to as emphasis areas. There are eight areas of emphasis from which to choose between the Communication major and the Computer Science and Digital Arts major - the technology version of "Communication".
