Goals for Managerial Communications


The Managerial Communications Program is a part of the Managerial Studies Department in the College of Business Administration (CBA). Each CBA student is required to complete BA 200, Managerial Communications, a three-credit course for graduation. Students learn how to address their audiences both through oral and written communication. The program also includes BA 300, Advanced Managerial Communications. The courses consistently receive high student evaluations.

We hope each student enrolled in Managerial Communications will learn to:

1. Write persuasively to a decision maker.

2. Contribute to the goals of a team.

3. Give oral presentations that address the needs of an audience.

4. Develop the skills to analyze and solve problems.

Brian Jacques on writing: Play with words. Don't be satisfied until the picture is right. Read it aloud. Close your eyes and see it, then imagine a huge cinema screen in front of you. Say to yourself, "Is this a picture I would like to see?"
