Oral Communication - Hamilton College Clinton

Oral Communication from Hamilton College Clinton is a Campus Bachelor Liberal Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. NEARLY TWO CENTURIES AGO, Hamilton began to distinguish itself as one of the nation's most prestigious and innovative liberal arts colleges by identifying its educational mission as the mastery of "rhetoric and elocution." That mission remains central to the College's educational philosophy today. It is evident not only in the campus-wide commitment to strong writing skills, but in the oral communication program, where students learn the speaking and critical-thinking skills that have produced some of the nation's most eminent diplomats, accomplished professionals, authoritative scholars and effective activists. The Oral Communication Program holds a unique place in the Hamilton curriculum ? neither a major nor a minor, but a rich and continuing resource for the entire College community. Oral communication courses prepare students for those studies and professional settings in which clear, credible, effective presentations and productive teamwork are crucial. Courses contribute variable credit toward graduation requirements and provide a variety of learning formats, from classroom discussion to lab training and fieldwork. RESOURCES Hamilton's Oral Communication Center offers a variety of courses, support services, workshops and tutoring options. The center is dedicated to helping students improve and polish their public-speaking skills and classroom performance. The College's annual public speaking competition is a time-honored campus tradition that represents Hamilton's commitment to effective, graceful persuasion. The six speaking awards are among the most prestigious student honors on campus and include $6,000 in prizes. View more details on Hamilton College .
