Communication 394AI - Applied Communication: Prof Ex

This course will prompt you to use your internship experience as a springboard for thinking about your personal, academic, and professional development and to situate that reflection within a deepening analysis of Communication theory. We will look at the communication skills you practice in your internship (including interpersonal communication, public speaking, written communication, social networking, group facilitation, etc.) not only in terms of their value in the workplace but also as real-life data ripe for scholarly inquiry. NOTE: This course does not provide credit for doing the internship, rather it is academic credit that you pursue concurrently with an internship. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BA-Comm majors.

Open to Senior and Junior Communication majors only. Students must be enrolled in at least one UMASS 298Y internship credit during the Sprin semester in order to take this class.
