About this course

Understanding Business Communication for your Newlane credit.

What is Business Communication?

Business Communication studies how people share information, make decisions, and work together in organizations. It covers written, spoken, digital, and interpersonal communication, with attention to how messages are shaped by audience, culture, roles, and workplace goals.

How the course teaches you

Business Communication (Business 210) is a 3-credit course with attendance, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam each worth 25% of the grade. The course uses video lessons and other structured learning activities to build written, spoken, digital, and interpersonal communication skills. When you finish, the transcript can be sent to Newlane University, where the credit is recognized as Social & Behavioral Science GE.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course focuses on how people share information, make decisions, and work together in organizations, so the skills carry into meetings, emails, presentations, and team settings. At Newlane, that transcript credit applies as Social & Behavioral Science GE, which can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. For students using transfer credit to control cost, it is one course that can serve a general-education requirement while moving a Newlane plan forward.

Taking this course toward Newlane

After you complete the course, your transcript is sent for review and Newlane University applies the credit as Social & Behavioral Science GE. That equivalency means the course satisfies a general-education requirement in the Newlane degree plan rather than counting as an elective only. Because Newlane allows up to 90 transfer credits, this course can be part of the transfer total as long as you stay within that ceiling. Newlane is DEAC-accredited and competency-based, so transfer credit works alongside the credits you complete there toward programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy.

Who this course is for

This course is a practical choice for students planning to transfer into Newlane and use up to 90 transfer credits, especially if they want a general-education requirement to count as Social & Behavioral Science GE. It can fit students who are finishing a degree, returning to school, or building toward a Newlane program with transfer in mind. It is less useful for someone who does not need gen-ed credit or who is not planning to apply transfer credit to a Newlane degree plan.
