Business Communication Program

It’s about what you say and how you say it.

The Business Communication Program helps all Eller students develop the communication strategies to excel in a global business environment.

Eller undergraduates step right into business communication their first semester, building the essential written communication skills they’ll need to stand out. Business Communication is also an important ongoing resource for students at Eller, at undergraduate and graduate levels. Business writing, presenting, digital communication and group communication will serve our graduates every day of their career.

I mentor with Eller because it gives me the opportunity to share what I've learned with a new generation of leaders. The time I have spent at Eller has also allowed me to meet up-and-coming talent with a diverse range of backgrounds and professional interests.

Undergraduates take BCOM 214: Fundamentals of Business Communication in preparation for their first semester at Eller. Once admitted, they hit the ground running in their choice of BCOM 314 tracks: Corporate Communication or Consulting Communication where they explore more challenging, sophisticated internal and external messaging techniques. As members of our professional program, students receive ongoing support from BCOM faculty through coaching, workshops, and trainings.

Our executive mentor program helps students benefit from the experience of seasoned corporate leaders, while our corporate-sponsored case competitions give students the chance to solve real issues companies face. And our community partners program teams up students with faculty and local businesses for on-the-ground learning.
