My favorite course in communication studies was my senior seminar. Not many people get the opportunity to be assisted in the preparation to be hired upon graduation and create a 10-year career success plan to follow. The majority of my communication courses led up to this very point and incorporated all the course concepts into one execution plan on how to progress as the most successful communicators in our workforce.
