ACOM 8310 - Seminar in Applied Communication Studies

Three credit hours.

This capstone seminar draws on various applied communication theories to engage students in reflection on two years of study in the program. In doing so, students in the course will look at “what communication practices will create what we want to create,” reflecting on how they (a) adapt messages to various audiences, genres, and contexts, (b) model positive and ethical communication, and (c) advocate for positive co-constructed communication practices. This class is intended to be taken in the last semester or year of study in the graduate program, as a student is analyzing data for their master’s project.
