Students will engage in developmental activities intended to help them learn key aspects of communication, including, but not limited to: different formats of business writing (e.g., executive summaries, client and corporate correspondence, email messages, memos, reports, etc.); presentations and visual aids; active listening; small group facilitation; professional presence; and establishing credibility. Deliverables will include written documents and oral presentations, both individually and in teams. These skills cut across all disciplines and are qualitative tools that enhance career development.

Master’s degree in business (MBA) or communications (MA/MS), and/or relevant work experience.
