Communications

Welcome to the Communications Department at Douglas College.

Communications, in all its varied forms, is a key workplace skill. Ironically, communicating during a "communications age" offers its own challenges, demanding clarity and precision to be heard amongst the clutter. Expressing your ideas and objectives in a direct way, leaving little to interpretation, is the goal of the communicator.

The Department of Communications at Douglas College will provide you with a grounding in workplace communications: written, spoken, interpersonal and intercultural. Courses offer learning activities that include peer feedback exercises and collaborative assignments, writing tasks, oral presentations, research and interviews.

Many Communications courses can be transferred to university studies, particularly in disciplines such as English, Business Administration, Journalism, Marketing, Communications, and Professional Writing. As well, your enhanced ability to communicate clearly and professionally will be an asset in your career.
