Interpersonal Communication

This course explores the basic elements of interpersonal communication and provides students with the foundation for effective dyadic communication skills to establish and maintain personal and professional relationships. This course examines major theoretical perspectives and concepts relevant to interpersonal communication in personal relationships. These relationships include the everyday associations we have with others as a result of the positions we occupy in various situations (often called role-relationships), as well as the more intimate relationships we form with select others (friendships, family relationships).
