Department of Communication Studies
Brandi Lawless Ph.D.: Learning proper citation guidelines (AP, APA, MLA) is like learning a language. It has to be exact and ends up being an important skill. Research skills (quantitative and qualitative) can also be useful in finding and citing evidence for any type of writing. Students who take my qualitative methods class often comment on how interviewing skills translate into various job skills--talking with clients, writing narratives, etc.
Brandi Lawless Ph.D.: Written and oral communication are the most transferable skills for any job path. They are the most sought-after skills and help to land a job and also move up the ladder. Strong communication skills also lead to self-promotion and advocacy, which help you earn more and advance over time.
