Who We Are/ What We Do

Coursework in this area emphasizes improving public speaking skills by enabling students to develop, organize, design, and present content for a variety of audiences, occasions, and purposes. Students will apply ethical communication principles to improve relationships through communication with diverse others, to adapt messages in real time, and to adjust to the ever-changing relational landscape, preparing students for professional and civic engagement in a global society.
