PWRT 5504

Academic Year

2016-2017

In this course, students learn skills such as time management, leadership styles, collaboration techniques, and project management to help them become effective communications managers and leaders. Through a major collaborative project such as a web site or communications campaign, students learn to work in teams, take on leadership roles, and self-manage cooperatively to develop a project from start to finish. Through partnerships between the program and select non-profits, students donate their service to creating projects for these organizations and in return the sponsors offer guidance and mentorship, leading to potential internships.
