Challenging and rewarding, the Intercultural Communication Concentration prepares students to succeed as global communicators in the highly interconnected world in which we live. The concentration explores practices, trends and difficulties that arise when people from different cultures try to communicate and understand one another –whether it be within Michigan or across the globe. Graduates will be positioned to move easily across cultures to work in international posts for multi-national companies or non-profits and lead diversity efforts for organizations.
