Cross Cultural Communication

Catalog description

MK 314 is a communications course aimed at helping future professionals in a broad spectrum of fields better serve themselves, their colleagues, and their clients/audience by examining cultural paradigms and attempting to provide a comprehensive overview of communication in various professional contexts across lines of race, culture, gender, age, sexual orientation, and ideology. Connections between rhetoric (public speaking), composition (writing), and the marketplace of ideas in an increasingly global economy (culture) will be examined and practiced in ways that will enable students to become stronger thinkers, writers, and speakers. During this course, students will use their new understanding of communication to strategize for career success and practice real-world applications in professional and social situations.
