The curriculum emphasizes progression from information processing and observation to interaction strategies, message design, …


The Shift From Emphasis In Public Communication In Rhetorical Studies, Waldo W. Braden Oct 1988

The Shift From Emphasis In Public Communication In Rhetorical Studies, Waldo W. Braden

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article critiques the expansion of rhetorical studies from a focus on public address to the broader category of public communication. It reviews how rhetorical scholarship has increasingly embraced non-traditional subjects such as films, music, literature, and popular culture, moving away from orality and the analysis of individual speeches. Drawing on a survey of recent issues of the Quarterly Journal of Speech, the discussion finds that most published work concentrated on movements, themes, or philosophical issues rather than close studies of contemporary speakers or specific texts. While acknowledging the intellectual breadth gained by this shift, the article warns that such …

Conflict And Negotiation Courses In The Curricula, Fred E. Jandt Oct 1988

Conflict And Negotiation Courses In The Curricula, Fred E. Jandt

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article reports the results of a national survey on the presence of conflict and negotiation courses in communication curricula. Questionnaires were distributed to four-year and graduate institutions, with findings showing that over twenty percent offered at least one course in the area, and a smaller number offered two or more. Most courses were located in departments of speech or communication, were upper-division or graduate electives, and were introduced primarily in the late 1970s and 1980s. Enrollments averaged around twenty to thirty students per section, and demand was expected to grow. Faculty teaching these courses were most often tenured or …

An Investigation Of Articles Produced In The Communication Discipline By Institution: A Journal By Journal, Year By Year Analysis, Vernon O. Ray, Kittie W. Watson, Larry L. Barker, Robert N. Hall

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article presents a year-by-year and journal-by-journal analysis of article production in the communication discipline from 1980 to 1985. The study builds on earlier research identifying the fifty most productive institutions and examines both the number of articles produced annually and the distribution of publications across eleven major journals. Co-authorship was accounted for by dividing credit among authors’ institutions. Results show that top-ranked institutions maintained steady levels of publication, while lower-ranked institutions fluctuated more significantly in output. The analysis highlights trends in journal preferences among institutions and considers how editorial affiliations may influence publishing patterns. Although the study focuses on …

The discussion outlines the program’s history, administrative organization, and unique features such as rigorous faculty qualifications, academic advising, site coordination, and extended library services. Survey feedback from graduates highlighted personal growth, career advancement, and skill development as major benefits, with faculty quality, curriculum design, and weekend scheduling identified as program strengths.

Developing An Extended Degree Program, Keith A. Miller

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the development of extended degree programs designed to serve nontraditional students who are often older, employed, and unable to attend traditional campuses. It highlights the unique needs of adult learners, such as balancing multiple responsibilities, valuing practical application, and bringing significant life experience to their studies. The discussion outlines the philosophical and structural foundations of extended programs, noting that they must represent more than simply relocating a campus curriculum. Various administrative structures, curricular models, and program elements are reviewed, including flexible scheduling, credit for prior learning, and integration of community resources. Key considerations include faculty readiness, institutional …

An Investigation Of The Quantity Of Articles Produced In The Communication Discipline: An Institutional Analysis On The Basis Of Highest Degree Conferred, Larry L. Barker, Vernon O. Ray, Kittie W. Watson, Robert N. Hall

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article extends prior research on institutional publication productivity in the communication discipline by analyzing article output between 1980 and 1985 according to the highest degree offered by institutions. Data were collected from ten major journals, with credit assigned proportionally for multi-authored works. Results identify the most productive institutions at the doctoral, master’s, and non-graduate levels, showing that while doctoral-granting institutions produced the greatest volume, significant contributions also came from master’s programs and institutions without graduate degrees. The analysis provides comparative rankings of institutions, highlights differences in productivity across categories, and notes limitations such as the inability to assess publication …


Communication In The Socialization Of The Academic Department Chairperson, Christopher H. Spicer, Ann Q. Staton-Spicer Aug 1988

Communication In The Socialization Of The Academic Department Chairperson, Christopher H. Spicer, Ann Q. Staton-Spicer

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the role of communication in the socialization of new academic department chairs. While most chairs are appointed with little or no administrative training, they must quickly adapt to complex responsibilities involving leadership without extensive authority. Using intensive interviews with four newly appointed chairs, the study identifies a typology of twenty-one communication dimensions across four functional categories: informative, integrative, regulative, and innovative. These include activities such as information seeking and giving, relationship building, exercising authority, and initiating change. Findings show that communication is central to role-making as chairs negotiate expectations, establish credibility, and adapt prior faculty experience to …


Coding With Duplicate Program Reviews: An Administrator's Guide, Corwin P. King Aug 1988

Coding With Duplicate Program Reviews: An Administrator's Guide, Corwin P. King

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article recounts the experience of a speech communication program undergoing a duplication review by the State of Washington’s Council for Postsecondary Education. The review, aimed at identifying potentially unnecessary programs, required institutions to provide extensive data on need, demand, quality, and productivity. The program at Central Washington University, judged vulnerable due to low enrollments and degree conferrals, was recommended for termination despite evidence of quality and relevance. After appeals and hearings, the university trustees deferred closure and eventually voted to continue the program, aided by changes in state oversight agencies. The discussion provides guidance for administrators facing similar reviews, …
