Are Bus 210 and Com 210 not the same thing? - cclocks8 - 09-24-2025
I'm to the point of enrolling for classes for the Fall 2 session and working with the "New Student Enrollment Specialist."
I did workplace communication at Sophia, which transferred in as Bus 210 organizational communication. Ny degree plan shows I need Com 210, but the course descriptions are exactly the same, and all reviews for the course have it listed as Bus 210/Com 210... Anyone know what is up with that?

That's what I thought - I wonder why they have it as not satisfied. I haven't been assigned an advisor yet, as I'm still in the enrolling process, but I did send an email to the enrollment specialist. I guess we'll see how it goes!
