Abstract
This article reviews published assessments of oral communication across the curriculum programs in higher education and reports activities and results from a faculty and student development program at a mid‐sized comprehensive state university. Preliminary results from both self‐report and quasi‐experimental studies suggest that this approach holds significant promise for curricular development and improvement of student communication skills. Potential problems associated with oral communication across the curriculum programs and implications of such programs for the Speech Communication discipline are discussed.Keywords
