Communication

To become an effective communicator, an Alverno student learns to read, write, speak, listen, quantitatively analyze and incorporate technology across the disciplines. Communication as a required ability is taught and assessed through integration of multiple communication modes in a variety of disciplinary and professional contexts.

In courses across the curriculum, from psychology to music to nursing, each student is guided to develop her communication skills through performances within the guidelines of specific criteria.
