COM250 Intercultural Communication3 credit(s)
The Intercultural Communication course is an introduction to approaching communication across cultural differences. It is designed to explore the impact of culture on communication and to improve each student’s ability to communicate with others, both formally and informally. We live in an era of rapid globalization in which being able to communicate across cultures is imperative to our ability to function in a diverse workplace, city, and world. In this class, culture is defined broadly to include race, ethnicity, gender, age, socio-economic class, and so on. Students enrolled in this course are encouraged to examine their own lives and the influence of their backgrounds on their communication processes. It involves both individual and group work. Class time consists of lectures, group activities, simulations, written exercises, service learning, presentations, and discussions. Students will gain theoretical and practical knowledge as they study and mindfully experience intercultural communication. Offered fall semester.
