LSU Communication across the Curriculum
LSU Communication across the Curriculum is a program at Louisiana State University (LSU) that works to improve the communications skills of students. This includes writing, public speaking, visual and technological communication skills. The program is a successor to the Writing across the Curriculum and Writing in the Disciplines programs.
Historically, academia has focused on improving students' writing skills,[1] but has put little emphasis on communication skills as a whole to include, incorporating oral competencies, visual literacy, and application of technological communication tools in addition to writing.[2]
LSU is the only institutionalized program that equally emphasizes written, spoken, visual, and technological communication within disciplines. The LSU Communication across the Curriculum program[3][4] has adjusted its model to benefit from the knowledge of what has and has not worked at other institutions,[5] and takes into account the rapidly changing demands of communication in the 21st century.[6]
