Business Communication
Enhance your career with the essentials of business messaging. Today’s business environment requires people who can communicate well, both face-to-face and electronically. This is not just e-mails and customer service: it involves how best to accomplish goals and objectives within, or on behalf of, an organization, whether in group situations, recordings, over the airwaves or across cultures.
What You Study
The Business Communications curriculum gives students a good understanding of business fundamentals. Students select a variety of courses offered by the Communications and Journalism department that focus on understanding and feeling confident with:
- the relationships between individuals and groups
- how to persuade and put forth particular points of view
- how to produce media in all forms
- the cultural variables involved in communication
- technology in today’s workplace.
