Minor in Speech Communication
An understanding of the challenges of effective
communication and how communication can be
facilitated is of great value in almost any
career. Some careers, such as those in human
services, require an understanding of communication
between individuals. Other careers, such as
those in business, nonprofit organizations,
or government, require an understanding of
communication within and between organizations
and between organizations and their customers
or other constituencies. For example, business
majors may benefit from knowledge and skills
in organizational and multicultural communication,
particularly in our multicultural society.
The Minor in Speech Communication is structured
to meet the individual student's aptitudes,
interests, and career goals. The minor is
earned by the successful completion of 21
adviser-approved units.
