A corporate communication major will learn and be trained to use the communication skills relating to the “people side” of business. Majors will be trained not only in the communication skills related to formal presentational speaking and business writing, but also in the full range of interpersonal and group skills critical in corporate life.
The education and skills training in the corporate communication major at Dominican University prepare students for a myriad of careers, ranging from corporate communication consultant/director to anchorperson or political campaign director.
The major’s mission, moreover, is more than simply to prepare students for a job: the mission is to develop the student’s natural gifts while guiding him or her in a direction that will make the journey meaningful.
Flexibility is built into this major, as it cross-lists numerous related courses from other departments and thus can be tailored to the career goals of individual students.
All majors are required to become student members of the National Communication Association and/or the Central States Speech Association prior to having a major card signed. All majors are heartily urged to join and participate in Dominican’s local chapter of the National Communication Association’s Student Honor Society, Lambda Pi Eta, if invited.
