COMMS 250 - Relational Communication

3 Credit(s)

Examines the fundamental elements of interpersonal communication within the context of developing relationships. This course explores the forces that bring people together, keep them together, and separate and divide them. Whether with roommates, lovers, parents, or friends, we are constantly experiencing how communication behavior affects our relationships. It is within the context of our relationships with others that abstract concepts like feedback, perception, and conflict resolution become increasingly relevant. Therefore, theories and concepts covered in this course are examined against the backdrop of students’ actual relationships.
