Writing & Communications Development

WRITING & COMMUNICATIONS DEVELOPMENT
Prepare for Success with an Education in Communication

Communication is key in every industry and every situation. Without the ability to clearly convey and understand what is being said, broadcast, or written, it’s all too easy to let misinterpretation rule the day. Whether you’re looking for an edge in your professional life or you simply need to better connect with friends and family in your personal life, an education in communication can help you go far.

Whether you’re putting together a product description, presenting information to decision makers, or delivering the keynote at an all hands meeting for your organization, prepare for success with a professional development certificate program from the College of Continuing and Professional Studies (CCAPS). Our communication certificate programs were built for busy working professionals like you in mind, each one designed to give you the tools you need to write, speak, and communicate more impactfully on and off the job.
