 grounded in the development of core intellectual skills from the Humanitie=
s (critical reasoning, effective writing and speech, and a cultivated dispo=
sition toward seeing human language and behavior as strategic and meaningfu=
l).  Upper-division courses encourage student-driven projects that develop,=
 synergistically, into unique pathways towards careers in a variety of fiel=

eekend college and/or provide instruction through distance education.


Required Skills, Knowledge and Abilities:

While our curriculum allows for students to make connections among many fie=
lds of inquiry into human language and behavior, we are especially keen to =
hire someone who can enrich our current offerings to students in relation t=
o message design and production.  We are particularly interested in talking=
 to candidates with substantial backgrounds in new media, digital communica=
tion, multi-platform promotions, advertising, and Public Relations.

mentioned requirements, the applicant minimally must be fluent in the Engli=
