Connecting Ideas + Understanding
Both majors and non-majors have several options this summer to increase their communication knowledge + skills as well as knock off some key curriculum requirements.

COM 225 Public Speaking (3 credits)

A basic introduction to communication, primarily through public speaking, that stresses organization and delivery of spoken messages. Units include informative speaking, special occasion speaking, the use of language in oral style, audience analysis, and the use of logic and critical thinking in persuasive communication.

COM 390 Intercultural Communication (3 credits)

This course offers students a survey of contemporary scholarship related to processes of intercultural communication. The course will consider the important role of contexts (social, cultural, historical) in intercultural interactions. We will examine the complex relationship between culture and communication from several conceptual perspectives, concentrating on three: social/psychological, interpretive, and critical. By applying these perspectives students will come to appreciate the complexities and tensions involved in intercultural interactions. This learning process should enhance self-reflection, flexibility and sensitivity in intercultural communication. Offered as CORE 403.
