Where Do Master of Professional Communication Graduates Fit?
Master of Professional Communication (MPC) graduates often do not fit easily into occupational niches available to other students with professional degrees in fields such as business, health care or education. However, as an MPC graduate, you are qualified for many jobs even in these fields because this degree spans a wide range of occupational categories.
Consult with an Adviser
If you have a particular career track in mind, we encourage you to consult with your MPC adviser to choose the elective classes, research projects, hands-on applications, and thesis/final project ideas most beneficial to achieving your goals. We also encourage you to network with professional mentors for further direction.
