SPDA 3020 - Connections II: Professional Communication

3 hours

Second in a series of pillar courses for the Integrative Studies cohort degree focused on the intersection between application and theory in the 21st century world. Students integrate university core knowledge and skills with theories of professional communication—both face-to-face and digital—in a collaborative setting. Project-based learning forms the center of this educational experience, focused around a theme chosen by, and in collaboration with, a business or community partner. The goal is teaching students how to develop and execute effective collaborative communication while working in teams to address complex systems and project implementation. Learning is supported by readings, lectures, discussion and simulation of key theories that drive said communication. Restricted to students admitted to the cohort.
