Master of Professional Communication Accelerated Graduate Degree Pathway

Conditionally accepted students are eligible to matriculate into the MPC program in the subsequent semester once they have met the following admissions criteria

Completed at least 120 undergraduate/MPC credit hours (1000-6000 level) and fulfilled all requirements for graduation with a BS/BA in Communication

Maintained an overall undergraduate GPA of at least 3.2

Maintained an overall MPC GPA of at least 3.0 and received a B- or higher in every MPC class

Complete an application for full admission to the MPC program

Graduate Coursework

During the first year of the MPC program, 12 of the graduate credits completed will also be applied (credit share) as upper-division undergraduate credit hours to fulfill the degree requirements in the Communication program. These graduate credits are aligned to fulfill the required COMM courses that were bypassed upon conditional acceptance (listed above)

Students will be awarded their Bachelor’s degree in Communication at the end of their first year of conditional acceptance in the MPC program. Students then continue in the MPC program to complete the remaining and are awarded their Master of Professional Communication degree upon completion of all program requirements

Retention in the graduate MPC program will be based on the following criteria

Grade “B-” or better in all required MPC courses

Maintain an overall Weber State University Graduate GPA of 3.0

Students who fail to meet the retention criteria will be placed on probation in the MPC program for one semester. If standards are not met by the end of the probationary period, the student will be dismissed from the program. Students who receive a grade lower than a “B-” in any required MPC course must repeat that course and receive a grade of “B-” or higher to remain in the program. Failure to repeat the course (when offered) will result in dismissal from the program. Students who receive a grade lower than a “B-” in two or more MPC courses may be dismissed from the program

Students who choose to discontinue the MPC program or are dismissed from the program within the first year, before they complete their bachelor’s degree, will be directed to their undergraduate Communication Department academic advisor. A plan for completing their bachelor’s degree will be developed. The MPC program director and the Office of Graduate Studies will determine whether any credit sharing will be applied based on the MPC courses the student completed before discontinuance/dismissal

Students who complete the first year of the accelerated MPC program but subsequently choose to discontinue it may still be eligible to receive their Bachelor’s degree in Communication
