    Relational & Organizational Communication Emphasis

    3 items
    1. Generalist: Does not specialize. The generalist has the communication skills and knowledge to lead groups and develop organizational strategies necessary for management. Rather than focus on the career areas of technical writing or training and development, the generalist combines organizational communication with expertise in a secondary subject of interest. Minors in disciplines such as Spanish, health administration, political science, psychology, or economics are a valuable combination with an Organizational Communication Generalist emphasis.
      Not resolved to a course
    2. Technical Writing: Synthesizes technical information into messages easily understood by a given audience. Technical writers produce organizational policy and training manuals, employee newsletters, brochures, grant applications, and annual reports.
      Not resolved to a course
    3. Training & Development: Conducts training needs assessments for diverse groups, designs workshops, writes training manuals, evaluates classroom technology and equipment needs, and evaluates training.
