In our increasingly complex and diverse economies, effective communication skills are more important than ever before. Our mission is to help students develop the writing, speaking, and professionalism skills they'll need to succeed in today's dynamic, team-based business environments.
Today's business students are entering the workforce with the field-specific knowledge to hit the ground running. But those who can pair this knowledge with strong communication and interpersonal skills are truly positioned for success.
That's where we come in. The Business Communication Program faculty are experts in business writing, speaking, and professional development. We help students develop the skills they need to excel in their coursework and impress prospective employers.
In addition, we offer undergraduate and graduate students and faculty a range of communication-based services, from one-on-one tutoring to workshops, guest lectures, and other collaborations, all spearheaded through our Business Communication Center.
We're thrilled to impart crucial knowledge and skills to our students, to give them a competitive edge as they prepare to enter the marketplace, and to play a role in helping them achieve a fulfilling, meaningful, and joyous future. We look forward to working with you soon!
