Organizational Communication Major


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Undergraduate Department and Program Information

Organizational communication stresses both performative and analytical skills within systematic contexts. A substantial focus upon an applied area is included. Our goals are to develop an appreciation for and understanding of: (1) the historical development of the field of organizational communication, (2) the especially complex nature of human interaction when it takes place within an organization, and (3) the role that communication plays in helping the individual interpret, modify, control and adjust to the organizational environment.

The emphasis begins with a core of communication courses supplemented by courses in behavioral science and business. See emphasis III.

Established areas of emphasis are: conflict management/human resources, corporate video, training and development, public administration/community services, international/intercultural facilitation and assessment and audit techniques. Samples of possible course work for suggested programs are listed below.
