COMM 210 - Interpersonal Communication

Interpersonal communication is the study of dyadic interaction and the creation of meaningful relationships. This course focuses on the concepts and theories surrounding interpersonal communication competencies, how they are interconnected, and how they influence the particular ways in which we communicate in intimate, familial, and professional contexts. Students will gain insight into their own interpersonal competencies and ways to improve them, implement specific theories and concepts to predict and influence interpersonal communication outcomes, and become more practiced in listening and expressing oneself in interpersonal contexts. An overarching goal is for students to be able to apply this material so they can better manage their communication within their own personal and professional interpersonal relationships.
