MPC Admissions Requirements

We offer a limited number of partial-tuition waivers and scholarships to students who are admitted to the Master of Professional Communication. To be considered for scholarships, you just complete a FAFSA form and update the scholarship information. You can do this using the Financial Aid and Scholarships app in eWeber.

For more information on financial aid, refer to the Financial Aid & Scholarship Office

Applicants who do not meet the standard admission criteria but believe they have equivalent qualifications may appeal to the Master of Professional Communication Program and Policy Committee after consultation with the program director.

The MPC program is selective with a limited number of openings available for qualified students. The Application Deadline is Nov. 1, 2022. For additional information contact the Master of Professional Communication Office at 801-626-7499.

If you speak English as a second language, you are required to present evidence of a TOEFL score of either 223 on the computer-based test or a score of 85 on the internet-based test (iBT). Alternately, you may submit verification of a minimum band IELTS score of 6.5. These scores must not be older than two years. At the discretion of the program director, you may be required to take the ACTFL oral language English proficiency assessment or take courses in LEAP (Learning English for Academic Purposes).

If you are not a U.S. citizen, check with the International Student & Scholar Center before proceeding with the application. You will need to submit the WSU International Student Application as well as a Graduate Financial Guarantee form. The Graduate Financial Guarantee form is a confidential financial statement that shows you have sufficient funds to comply with United States Immigration and Naturalization Service regulations. This form must be submitted before you can receive the I-20 or IAP-66 form that enables application for a student visa for entry into the U. S.

If you are an international applicant who speaks English as a second language and has earned an undergraduate degree from a U.S. university and previously completed the TOEFL with a score of 223 on the computer-based test or 85 on the Internet-based test (iBT), or have an IELTS band score of 6.5 or greater, you are not subject to this requirement. However, at the discretion of the program director, you may be required to take the ACTFL oral language English proficiency assessment or take courses in LEAP (Learning English for Academic Purposes).

You must have your transcripts and bachelor’s degree evaluated by a foreign evaluation credential service selected from the agencies below.
