Capstone Project:
CMGT 8109 constitutes the final project in Communication Management. It requires students to solve a critical structural and/or procedural communication problem affecting an organization’s ability to communicate efficiently or effectively at internal and/or external levels. The 20-minute video-recorded presentation allows students during their final academic term to reflect on and summarize relevant concepts, practices and readings from their entire course of study.
