Foundations of Professional Communication

Provides a foundation in professional, practical and ethical communication through examination of the goals, norms, values and ethics that characterize individuals and their discursive communities. Offers a strengths-based approach that allows students to develop teamwork skills, to document their personal, academic and professional achievement, to develop an ethical foundation for their practice, and to identify appropriate career/education goals based on positive awareness of self and others. Serves as the basis for students’ intentional formation of their professional identity and for portfolio development.
