SLMC is also home to Principles of Speech, a signature course in Howard’s university-wide core curriculum.
SLMC majors develop strong critical reasoning, writing and case development, verbal and nonverbal communication, problem-solving, research design and implementation.
Students become equipped with persuasive and informative methodologies to enhance the creation and development of messages in a variety of communication contexts including digital media.
