This 12 credit emphasis equips students with intercultural communication skills to navigate a diverse society. Students practice co-constructing meaningful dialogue in liminal spaces. Critical inquiry enriches students' preparedness for interactions in proximate multicultural contexts.

The four required graduate liberal arts (GLA) courses (each 3 credits) are complementary, can bee taken cocurrently and in any order. 

Having the Emphasis in Intercultural Communication (EIC) on my resume sets me apart as compassionate, globaly conscious, and self aware. I practice human-centered, empathetic design from a more culturally-minded point of view. I was asked about the EIC in two interviews, both ending in job offers.
