Communication Inquiry, Analysis, and Trends

Students will actively engage in their chosen communication field in order to develop the essential networking, writing, inquiry, and analysis skills required to be successful professional communicators. The course has three central components: first, students will develop professional networks to cultivate mentorship, gain intimate knowledge of the field, and become familiar with the field’s norms and values. Second, students will strengthen their business-writing skills by creating industry-standard documents, communicating clearly and effectively, and activating their voice to convey their points with authenticity. Finally, students will explore their chosen field of communication to determine the current state of the field and its future trajectory, while also exploring how they may adapt and grow to meet the demands of the future.
