Studying Organizational Communication at Weber State

Weber State’s organizational communication emphasis focuses on how symbolic meanings shape organizational conflict, decision-making, and culture. This emphasis is a good fit for students who want to explore how people communicate across cultures and within their organizations.

Organizational Communication Highlights

In the organizational communication emphasis, you’re encouraged to work closely with faculty members. You will have the option to work on a capstone project that you can add to your job-hunting portfolio.
