Organizational Communication

The organizational communication minor introduces you to interpersonal skills valuable in small groups and large professional settings. You can customize the minor to your professional interest with courses in persuasion, intercultural communication, health communication, social media and conflict management. Organizational communication is an ideal minor if you'd like to pursue a career in leadership, not-for-profit agencies and corporate business, or graduate programs in communication, mediation and law.
