The Employability Of Graduates Of Liberal Arts Programs, Al Weitzel

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the employability of speech communication and liberal arts graduates, assessing claims about career outcomes through a review of empirical studies, national surveys, and employer perceptions. While some data suggest liberal studies graduates perform competitively in long term professional advancement, particularly in managerial roles, findings reveal that immediate employment prospects remain limited due to employer preferences for business and technical degrees. The article critiques optimistic narratives that overstate workforce demand for communication majors, instead calling for more accurate academic advising and targeted institutional strategies to improve graduate outcomes.

The Role Of Indirect Tests In Assessing Communication Competence, Michael R. Neer Aug 1989

The Role Of Indirect Tests In Assessing Communication Competence, Michael R. Neer

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article reports on the design, implementation, and analysis of an indirect assessment instrument developed to measure communication competence among graduating seniors at a public urban university. Developed to support diagnostic placement and curricular review, the assessment includes components in public speaking, communication theory, mass communication, and media writing, emphasizing cognitive understanding rather than observed performance. Results indicate moderate reliability across test components and reveal that academic performance, internship experience, employment status, and time to degree completion mediate assessment outcomes. Grade point average alone was not a consistent predictor of performance, suggesting that behavioral application and contextual engagement play significant …

Reconfiguring: The Shape Of Things To Come, David M. Berg

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article addresses the profound changes in communication that may compel departments to restructure in order to remain relevant. It argues that routine administrative challenges like enrollment or retirement trends are not sufficient drivers of major transformation; instead, emerging communication technologies—computers, satellites, and cable—are reshaping how communication occurs. The discussion highlights two illustrative developments: the rise of telecommuting and its interpersonal consequences, and international debates over sovereignty and information flow spurred by new media. These examples underscore the complex personal, organizational, and geopolitical issues tied to technological advances. The article contends that effective disciplinary response requires both reconceptualization, including integration …
