COMMUNICATIONS FOR PROFESSIONALS (CUL-222304)

Online Learning Home > Online Learning Catalog > Communications Humanities and Cultural Studies >

Course Description:

Communications for Professionals focuses on the theories, processes, and forms of professional communications. Students will learn to consider communication variables (e.g., audience, purpose, role, cultural context) as a means of analyzing a communication situation and creating effective communications. Students will create a portfolio of professional communications throughout the course: short communications for different purposes, resume and cover letter, report, proposal. Students will also do short oral presentations and a final project (individual or group) intended to integrate communication skills. In addition to creating communications in standard written form, students will apply communication concepts as they use different media tools. As much as possible, students are encouraged to create actual communications that they can use at work or in a professional capacity. Although there are no formal prerequisites, students should have a good grasp of basic writing skills.

This course fully meets the General Education requirement in Basic Communication.
