Communication

Communication represents the essential ability to articulate thoughts and ideas effectively to diverse audiences through a comprehensive array of methods, including oral, written, visual, or other nonverbal forms and contexts in order to achieve a desired outcome. The ability to convey meaning in diverse social and multicultural contexts also requires students to thoughtfully consider their intended audience’s knowledge, values, attitudes, and intentions. Students who are proficient in communication can craft clear and compelling messages for a range of purposes using a variety of media and technologies.
