Interpersonal Communication
Interpersonal Communication prepares students for interaction in a variety of relational contexts such as organizations and work teams, family, romance, friendship networks, cross-gender, and intercultural. Students will develop specific skills in relational maintenance and intimacy, self-disclosure, intervention, self-reflexivity, uncertainty reduction, listening, assertiveness, and verbal and nonverbal expressions. An Interpersonal Communication concentration can assist in establishing relational skills and understanding for a variety of careers in one-on-one sales, public affairs, higher education, and, with further education, counseling, grief recovery and crisis intervention.
