It provides managers with the knowledge and skills to solve communication problems in the workplace, use new media to transform existing business practices, reach out to media and clientele, and manage corporate images. This program enables communication professionals to expand their knowledge and skills in business and management, preparing them to lead nonprofit, public sector, or commercial enterprises.
