FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ANN ARBOR, Mich/July 9, 2004– Beginning in September 2004, Concordia University-Ann Arbor will offer an accelerated degree completion program with a major in organizational communication. First of its kind in the state, this degree is a credential for careers in public relations, corporate communications, consulting, special events planning, fundraising, web editing, advertising and promotion, speech writing, and public information.
The discipline of organizational communication includes coursework in communication theory, organizational communication, interpersonal communication, business communication, persuasive communication, small group communication, organizational writing & publishing, public relations, internet design and publishing, negotiation, conflict management, and mass communication.
Concordia University’s accelerated degree programs are designed for working adults, and the credits for the major can be completed in less than two years. Classes are organized according to the cohort model, which enables groups of students to form networking and support relationships as they move through the program together, enhancing their opportunities for successful completion. Courses meet one evening per week, from 6:00pm to 10:00pm. Students may begin coursework directly in their major, and either transfer their general education credits or complete them as their schedules allow.
