Minor in Organizational Communication

A minor in communication can support careers in market analysis, consulting, international affairs, business and much more. With two choices for a communication-based minor, undergraduates can customize their academic path to their interests. In both the communication minor and the organizational communication minor, courses explore the oral, written, nonverbal, live and mass-media nature of communication phenomena.

The communication minor builds a base in communication studies with required courses in intercultural and professional communication. Electives include Health Communication, Sociology of the Family, Sexual Communication, and options for independent study or internships.

The organizational communication minor incorporates organizational sciences courses with a background in organization and social systems. Electives include Leadership Communication, Issues and Image Management, and Corporate Ethical Communication.

This minor is not available to communications majors.
