Grad Level Business Comm? - futuremrsmlb - 05-09-2016
Are there any alternative ways to earn credit for a graduate level business communications course?
It is so redundant to take this course after taking business communications at the undergrad level:confused:

I really hate that I had to waste 6 weeks of my life on this course. I ended up taking this course at Kaplan and the assignments are VERY SIMILAR in nature to the Business Communication course offered at Straighterline. The ONLY difference I have noticed is that it requires APA style instead of MLA..... ! :ack: A filler course is not the best way to start an MBA program.
Pressing onward!

Yep it's a filler.

I would just think of it as a review course, to ease or transition into the MBA. Heck, if you've done all the work already, it's an easy pass!
Even though you might not learn too much in the course, I think they use it to make sure everyone has a good review of their previous knowledge.
Especially when communication is a key component of business and other higher learning degrees.

Taking graduate-level versions of classes you took for your bachelor's degree doesn't sound like the epitome of fun. However, I could see how this could be useful if you got a bachelor's degree in a non-business subject and then decided to get an MBA. Even if you have a business background, it never hurts to review your writing and communication skills - I've met an awful lot of well-educated business professionals who simply can't write worth a hoot.
