Business Communication

Among surveyed employers, strong communication skills are a highly sought attribute. Business Communication at Smith supports the development of transformational leaders who understand that critical thinking is at the core of effective communication; that to truly communicate, influence and persuade requires clarity of thought, listening intentionally and delivering messages in an optimal way.

Our team provides students with the tools to create meaningful and effective connections by expanding their range of oral and written communication skills. We do this through core classes in the specialty master's, part-time and online MBA programs, one-on-one coaching and workshops in our full-time MBA and PhD programs and specialized business communication curriculum in our COMM107 and ENGL394 undergraduate classes.
