COM 2601 - Introduction to Interpersonal Communication

Credits: 4

This course is designed to foster a broader level of awareness in regard to interpersonal communication. It presents a comprehensive view of the theory and research in interpersonal communication and, at the same time, guides students to improve a wide range of interpersonal skills and to apply these to personal, social, and workplace relationships. In so doing, the course will center on issues such as self-concept, perception, self-disclosure, listening, power, and conflict. While it does not offer a formula for interpersonal success, the student will become aware of the communication processes that both disintegrate and nurture the dyadic human relationship.
