A. Brief Introductory StatementThe Master of Professional Communication (MPC) program emphasizes the knowledgeand advanced communication skills working professionals need to succeed in today'srapidly evolving and technologically complex world. Students hone their skills in writing,speaking, new media and research methods. They take cognate courses in team buildingand facilitation, organizational leadership, and strategic communication. The program isdesigned to prepare effective leaders, team members, and employees in corporate,government and nonprofit organizations.Graduates work in fields such as public relations, education, health care promotion andorganizational training and development. Many students use the MPC degree to advanceto strategic communication leadership roles within their chosen career field. Others usethe degree to make a career change to a field that is more closely aligned with theirinterests, knowledge and skills in communication. A few students seek opportunities towork in higher education and may enter a doctoral program in communication.B. Mission StatementThe mission of the Master of Professional Communication program is to provide theadvanced knowledge and communication skills working professionals need tosucceed in career fields related to communication. Students receive an appliededucation grounded in theory. They learn how to conduct research, interpretresearch findings, write and present information in accordance with theconventions and standards of the classroom and the boardroom.Alignment with University Mission and Core ThemesThe MPC program provides access to graduate level education for degree seekingstudents and for employers who wish to advance the knowledge and skills of theiremployees beyond the level of a bachelor’s degree. The MPC program, housed on theOgden campus of Weber State University, creates access to students and employersin Northern Utah who are seeking a graduate education in close proximity.Our students live and work in Northern Utah and have strong ties to thecommunity. Their course assignments often require them to apply what they arelearning in the MPC program to situations in their career and professionalrelationships. Many students share their expertise with local for-profit andnonprofit organizations through class assignments or their formal capstone project.As mentioned in the mission statement above, the cornerstone of the MPC programis applied education grounded in theory. We are dedicated to providing an excellentlearning experience for students in the program.WSU Graduate Program Review Form4
C. Program and CurriculumProgram DescriptionThe Master of Professional Communication program emphasizes the knowledge andadvanced communication skills working professionals need to succeed in today'srapidly evolving and technologically complex world. Students take courses in teambuilding and facilitation, organizational leadership, strategic communication, and inthe measurement and evaluation of communication messages. They also continue todevelop their proficiency in speaking, writing, communicating visually, and in usingnew media. The first year of study consists of required courses. In the second yearstudents customize their plan of study with elective courses in communication orfrom related fields including business, education and health professions. Studentsmay opt to complete a professional project or thesis as a capstone experience.Course Requirements for MPCThe list below reflects the course requirements when the program was created. Weused these course requirements in 2011-12 and 2012-13.Prerequisites to WSU's MPC program (6 semester credit hours) COMM 3000 Communication Theory or equivalentCOMM 3150 Communication Research Methods or equivalentThese two courses must be taken within five years of admission to MPC program.Program RequirementsStudents must complete 37 credit hours for graduation with an overall GPA of 3.0 orabove. A grade of B- or better is required for each of the courses to count towardsgraduation. Students may transfer up to 12 credit hours from another university,with permission of the graduate program director. They may take up to six credithours of interdisciplinary course work with permission of the graduate programdirector.Required Core MPC Courses (22 credit hours) MPC 6000 Introduction to Graduate Studies for Master in ProfessionalCommunication (1)MPC 6100 Team Building and Facilitation (3)MPC 6150 Writing for Professional Communicators (3)MPC 6200 Presentational Speaking/Visual Communication in the Workplace (2)MPC 6300 New Media In Professional Communication (3)MPC 6400 Communicating Organizational Leadership (3)MPC 6600 Strategic Communication (3)WSU Graduate Program Review Form5

While the courses are accessible tostudents who have not taken the corresponding undergraduate courses, thegraduate courses differ from undergraduate counterparts in demanding greaterdepth and breadth in all major aspects of each course such as reading, writing,presentations, projects, etc. Of the 9 elective credit hours in the Master ofProfessional Communication degree, only 6 may be 5000-level courses and must beapproved by the MPC program director before registration.

We changed thespeaking course from two credits to three credit hours, replacing MPC 6200Presentational Speaking and Visual Communication in the Workplace (2) with MPC6210 Presentational Speaking in the Workplace (3). The change in credit hours createsmore class time for student speaking assignments. The title change helps studentsunderstand that the emphasis of the course is presentational speaking rather than visualcommunication. We also added a new course, MPC 6350 Visual Communication in theWorkplace (3).In 2013 we changed the program requirements to make the thesis or project optional. Wemade this change because we realized it was not practical to create two person facultycommittees for 20-25 students per year. At that time faculty were serving on master’scommittees on top of a full teaching load (or overload).In 2014 we changed the program again to eliminate the two prerequisites. Instead ofrequiring communication theory at the undergraduate level, we created a graduate levelcourse to cover the material, MPC 6010 Communication Theory and Intro to GraduateStudies.The program requirements were changed from 37 to 33 credit hours so we could start theprogram in the fall semester and make it possible for students to graduate in two years.Prior to this change, the deadline for admission was February 1 and the program startedin the summer term, which put us out of sync with deadlines for comparable programs.An examination of web analytics showed that the greatest number of visits to our websitecame in the month of January. Most of the prospective students who contacted us inJanuary had not yet taken the GRE and needed one or more prerequisites. Although oursite generated a lot of traffic and leads, it was hard to convert leads into applicants. Underthe new curriculum we have eliminated the prerequisites, moved the application deadlineto March 15 and the start date to fall semester. This should result in a larger applicantpool, which will allow us to be more selective in admissions.The new curriculum is presented below. In addition to the changes mentioned above, wehave also added new 6000-level electives and we are phasing out 5000-level electives as6000-level courses become available.WSU Graduate Program Review Form7

Artifacts are ratedon the learning objective(s) assessed that year using the categories below:“Strong” – demonstrates a high level of competence. Work that is “publishable”or “presentable” in a corporate setting, with minor revisions. Examples includebrochure or web copy that could be used with only minor editing changes (ifany). Research papers will be rated “strong” if they are/could be accepted forpresentation at an academic or professional conference. Class projects will berated “strong” if they received points totaling 85% or better of the possiblepoints for the assignment.“Adequate” – demonstrates an acceptable level of competence on the variableassessed. Could be published or presented in a corporate setting with somesubstantive editing and/or revisions from a coworker or supervisor. Anadequate academic research paper is one that could be revised for submission toa conference, based on feedback. Class projects will be rated “adequate” if theyreceive points totaling 80-84% of the possible points for the assignment.“Inadequate” – demonstrates work that would be rejected or returned for majorrevisions in a corporate or academic context. Examples include brochure or webcopy that violates the principles of best practices for brochure or web writing, ora research paper that would likely be rejected by an academic or professionalconference. Class projects will be rated “inadequate” if they receive pointstotaling 79% or less of the possible points for the assignment.Evidence of Learning: Courses within the MajorEvidence of Learning: Courses within the MajorMeasurableLearning OutcomeMethod ofMeasurementStudents will Direct andIndirectMeasures*Learning Outcome1.A:Measure 1:Analysis ofMPC thesesand projectsWrite and editat a levelcommensuratewith acommunicationleader ormanagerThresholdforEvidence ofStudentLearningFindingsLinked toLearningOutcomesInterpretationof FindingsActionPlan/Use ofResultsMeasure 1:75% ofstudentswill score“strong” inthis areaMeasure 1:86% scoredstrong, 14%scoredadequateMeasure 1:Students meetthe standardset forassessmentMeasure 1:In 2013 weonly looked attheses andprojects.

*At least one measure per objective must be a direct measure. Indirect measuresmay be used to supplement evidence provided via the direct measures.Assessment SummaryIn addition to the direct measures reported above, we have anecdotal evidence tosuggest that at least seven students in the first cohort presented a paper at anacademic conference. This represents 33% of the graduating class. We believe this isstrong evidence for the quality of education in the program, especially in thelearning objectives related to writing and research methods.We graduated our first class in May 2013 and completed our first assessment ofstudent learning outcomes in Fall 2013. In subsequent years we will continue toimplement our assessment plan. In Fall 2014 we gathered data from the MPCcourses on writing and speaking and examined that data based on the courserubrics and our assessment criteria.As we receive anecdotal data and feedback from students based on teachingevaluations and exit surveys, we continue to refine and improve courses in theprogram. For example, we are working to add new elective courses to strengthenour cognate areas. In 2013-14, we added electives in web usability, gender andcommunication in the workplace, and conflict resolution and negotiation. Our newcourse MPC 6010 Communication Theory and Intro to Grad Studies will be paired inthe same semester with MPC 6700 Research Methods. By pairing the two courses,students can start a research project in the theory course and complete it in theresearch methods course, while adhering to our instructional model of blendedlearning courses taught in eight-week blocks.E. Evidence of Ongoing Demand for the ProgramThe Utah State Board of Regents approved the Master of ProfessionalCommunication program in Spring 2010. After receiving approval, the graduateprogram director developed marketing materials and began recruiting. Becausemany prospective students needed to take one or more prerequisites before theycould apply for admission, faculty decided that the first class would be admitted inSummer 2011. The table below lists data on applications, admissions andenrollment. The original proposal for the program was based on the assumptionthat we would admit 25 students per year and students would complete theprogram within two years. Under that model, the program would be considered fullif it enrolled a total of 50 students across two academic years. We reached that goalby Summer 2013, in our third year. At this time we feel that 50 students is themaximum capacity for the program based on the number of faculty in thedepartment. We have a goal of attracting a larger applicant pool with strongeracademic credentials so we can be more selective and raise the averageundergraduate GPA and GRE scores of applicants.WSU Graduate Program Review Form14

Enrollment projectionsAs an applied graduate program, our enrollment seems to be loosely tied to theeconomy and levels of employment/unemployment. During the economic downturnthat began in 2008, a number of communication professionals were laid off ascompanies downsized their public relations and marketing teams. Several PR andadvertising firms along the Wasatch Front closed or laid off employees. When theprogram began admitting students in 2011, the economy was beginning to improve,but seasoned professionals remembered the economic downturn and looked atgraduate education as a tool to set them apart in a competitive job market.In 2014 the economy is recovering, employment levels have risen, and there is lessimpending fear of layoffs in the workplace. Between 2011 and 2014 we have seen aslight shift in our applicant pool. In 2013 and 2014, the number of mid-careerstudents fell slightly and the number of entry level or recent college graduatesincreased. The graduate program director has noticed a greater number of youngerapplicants who report they are interested in graduate school because they have notbeen able to find employment with their undergraduate degree. It’s a smallpercentage, but nonetheless, these students are not as strong as mid-career studentsseeking to advance or remain competitive in a tight job market. Often the weakeststudents in our program are the ones who appear to choose graduate school as away to postpone the job search. We hope that word of mouth and increasedvisibility of our graduates, coupled with strong recruiting efforts and curriculumchanges that reduce barriers to admission, will result in stronger applicant pools inthe future.Recruitment and MarketingRecruitment activities include attending the Utah Graduate School Fairs held atcolleges and universities throughout the state. The program director also holdsinformation sessions 3-4 times per year and promotes them by emails to ourprospect list, placing information in employee newsletters and intranets with themajor employers along the Wasatch front, publicizing the events in department andcollege social media outlets and sending a news announcement to local mediaoutlets. We ask alumni and current students to promote the information sessionsthrough their social media channels and by word of mouth.We place an ad in the Weber State University Magazine, which goes to more than80,000 alumni and friends of the university. We also use a direct mail postcardcampaign to inform alumni who graduated within the past 15 years from theLindquist College of Arts & Humanities and select departments on campus such asPsychology, Sales and Service Technology, and Network Technology and BusinessMultimedia (NTM).WSU Graduate Program Review Form16
Average time to degree completion (months):The average time for completion is 24 months. If students take two classes or sixcredit hours per semester, they can complete the program in 24 months or 6semesters. Students go through the program as a cohort. Their first year consists ofrequired courses. In the second year students take electives and/or complete athesis or project. They continue to take some of their coursework with otherstudents in their cohort.In the first cohort, 72% of students graduated within 24 months and a total of 84%of those admitted in Summer 2011 graduated within 27 months of admission. In thesecond cohort 80% of students graduated within 24 months and a total of 88% ofstudents admitted in Summer 2012 graduated within 27 months of admission. Weattribute our high retention and graduation rates to the camaraderie of the cohortmodel. Students in our program generally have a cooperative, rather than acompetitive, attitude towards their classmates. MPC students like to work in groupsand study together. Anecdotes from students and faculty suggest that the strongerstudents in classes such as Research Methods, Visual Communication and NewMedia are willing to help mentor the students with weaker skills in these areas.Admission RequirementsThe information about requirements comes from the 2011-12 WSU Catalog. Theserequirements were in place for the years covered by this review period. Therequirements will remain the same in the future, with the exception of eliminatingthe prerequisite courses, which was addressed in section C above under CurriculumChanges.Prerequisites: Applicants for admission into the WSU Master of ProfessionalCommunication program must possess a bachelor’s degree from an accreditedinstitution or be in the final stage of completing the degree. Applicants areencouraged to take a course in research methods and a course in communicationtheory as an un
