COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES

Catalog description

Communications Strategies focuses on using oral and written communication skills to advance ideas, agendas, and careers in an organization. Students learn how to "read" their audiences and shape their message accordingly. Students will write executive summaries, full reports, and develop presentations to best communicate their ideas. Through case analysis, written assignments, and personal inventories, students learn to identify and adapt to an organization's overt and covert communication protocols, and to observe the "hidden dimensions" of communication with a culturally and gender diverse workforce.
