Minor in Applied Communication

Coordinators: Directors of Undergraduate Studies in the Departments of English and Communication

This minor alone does not meet secondary certification requirements in the areas of English or communication studies.

The interdisciplinary minor in applied communication offers majors in departments other than communication and English an opportunity to improve their communication abilities through study in courses focusing on practical communication skills, including those in written and oral composition, interpersonal communication, and persuasion. The minor in applied communication is recommended to students in various professional fields such as education, finance, journalism, management, marketing, nursing, and pre-law, where communication skills are perceived to be valuable supportive tools.
