Intercultural Communication Comm 3501

COMM 3501 – Intercultural Communication (3 credits)
Intercultural Communication examines communication among individuals of different cultural backgrounds, including the study of similarities and differences across cultures. The course will introduce students to key intercultural communication topics: stereotyping, and intercultural encounters, culture shock and adaptation. The course outline will be shared via Blackboard.

This course, along with INTS 3331 are integrated and presented together in the field school experience. Offering the two together permits consideration of specific issues in community development on one hand, while exploring cultural differences and personal responses to engagement with a different culture.

INTS 3331 is general education eligible at tier three in cluster 3, and is also a core course elective in Social Work.

COMM 3501 is also in tier 3, cluster 4. COMM 3501 can satisfy a core course requirement for journalism degree students, and can replace COMM 2680 in the Information Design program core.
