ONE-STEP ACADEMIC PROGRAM PROPOSAL

1) Rationale: Provide the rationale for proposing the new academic program. Between 2002 and 2016 the number of students majoring in programs offered in the School of Communication and Media has grown from about 550 students to over 1500 students, effectively tripling in size. The Organizational Communication concentration now has about 109 students, and based on past annual increases we expect this number to grow to 129 in the first year of the major. This size is larger than the total numbers of majors in many departments, so we propose for the concentration to become a separate major, the B.S. in Organizational and Professional Communication. Thus, the School of Communication and Media will consist of four independent departments with separate B.S. degrees. It is also important to transition from a concentration to a major in order to meet priorities identified by hiring organizations. More than a B.S. in Communication, the B.S. in Organizational and Professional Communication will make clear to employers what particular skills our students have to offer within the very broad communication discipline. The Organizational and Professional Communication major will be delivered in similar fashion to the Organizational Communication concentration.

2) Mission Fit and Disciplinary Trends: Description of the program’s fit with the institutional mission and nationally accepted trends in the discipline (explain in narrative form). If the program is outside of the scope of the institutional mission and sector, provide the compelling rationale for submission. The Organizational and Professional Communication major at Kennesaw State University will offer a professionally-focused, marketplace-relevant, and theoretically-rigorous academic program for aspiring organizational communicators throughout Metro Atlanta and Northwest Georgia. The program will continue to support Kennesaw State University’s mission to educate Georgia students, to prepare them for professional careers, and to provide service to the local community.

Because Organizational and Professional Communication does not translate directly into job titles except at senior organizational levels, graduates may be qualified for several different entry-level jobs. Lists of actual jobs held by B.A. or B.S. graduates in communication typically list more than 50 different job titles. The field of Organizational Communication is usually considered to have begun in the early 1960s with Keith Davis’ dissertation on the grapevine, the informal organizational communication network. There is a distinct difference in business and organizational curricula. In1995membersoftheAssociationofCommunicationAdministratorsagreedthat,“Communicationfocusesonhowpeopleusemessagestogeneratemeaningwithinandacrossallkindsofcontexts,cultures,channelsandmedia.”So,whileundergraduatebusinessstudentstakecourseslikeAccounting,Finance,Calculus,andMicroandMacroeconomics,undergraduateorganizationalandprofessionalcommunicationstudentstakecourseslikeTrainingandDevelopment,InterpersonalCommunication(includingsuperior-subordinate

On May 13, 2016, Dr. Barbara Gainey, Director of the School of Communication and Media, led the Organizational and Professional Communication faculty in a focus group interview with working professionals, including two recent graduates. The professionals at that meeting suggested the following entry-level jobs for organizational and professional communication graduates: Communication Specialist Communication Analyst Training Coordinator Training Specialist Instructional Designer Conference Planner Client Services Organizational Design Human Relations Analyst Human Relations Generalist Human Relations Coordinator Talent Acquisition (formerly Recruiting) This list is consistent with the listing of Human Resources Manager and Recruiter in “popular career options” for students with bachelor’s degrees in Organizational and Professional Communication according to www.study.com, an education and career development web site. That website notes that graduates with 2-5 years’ work experience may be certified in the following areas:

“Pursuing the Accredited Business Communicator (ABC) designation, offered by examination through the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC), is also an option. To apply for accreditation, five years of professional experience and a professional portfolio are required.”


“Graduates pursuing careers in human resources with two years of work experience can sit for the Professional in Human Resources (PHR) or Senior Professional in Human Resources certification exam offered by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). This certification cycle is three years in duration and certificants are required to complete 60 continuing education credits to recertify.”

So graduates have entry-level job opportunities, and, after just 2-5 years’ work experience, they may apply for professional certification in business communication or human resources to be even more competitive.

National Trends In 2014, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projected a 13% growth rate between 2012 and 2022 for jobs as human resource managers. In 2014 the BLS reported that human resources managers’ mean annual salary $114,140. In 2016, the average job growth projected between 2014 and 2024 is 6.5% overall, with health care and social assistance growing more than 20% and professional and business services growing more than 10%. Management, scientific, and technical consulting services are projected to be among the industries, and professional and business services among the major employment sectors, with the largest growth from 2014-2024, with a compound annual rate of change of 2.4%.

As projected by the BLS, major occupation groups include the following increases from 2014-2024: Management occupations, 5.5% growth with a median annual wage in 2014 of $97,230.00 Education, training, and library occupations, 7.6% growth with a median annual wage in 2014 of $46,660.00 Healthcare support occupations. 23% growth with a median annual wage in 2014 of $26,440.00 Office and administrative support occupations, 2% growth with a median annual wage in 2014 of $32,520.00 All four of these categories are likely to hold jobs for our graduates.

More specifically, BLS occupational statistics for Business and Financial Occupations published in December, 2015 project overall growth of 8% from 2014-2024. The categories below give median pay for jobs as of 2015:

Compensation, benefits, and job analysis specialists $60,850.00 Human resource specialists 58,350.00 Labor relations specialists 58,820.00 Management analysts (management consultants) 81,320.00 Training and development specialists 58,210.00


Not only are Organizational and Professional Communication jobs projected to increase nationally for the next ten years, but these positions are well-compensated.

Local Trends The May, 2016 Bureau of Labor Statistics report for the Atlanta area showed local growth opportunities for jobs related to Organizational and Professional Communication. Business and professional services grew 3.5% from the previous May. This was the second largest increase locally and was larger than the 2.7% national growth rate. Leisure and hospitality, another sector that holds human resource and recruitment job opportunities for our graduates, had a 5.7% increase over 2015, more than double the national rate of 2.5%. Locally, education and health services grew by 2.9%.

Employment trends are also provided by the Georgia Department of Labor. According to Georgia Workforce 2020: An Analysis of Long-term Employment Projections to 2020, (produced by the Georgia Department of Labor), the top five projected growth sectors included Health services, Educational services, and Administrative and support services. Each of these sectors has several job titles that Organizational and Professional Communication graduates could fill. Administrative and support services is the sector projected to add the most jobs in Georgia. The jobs considered “hot” for job growth by the Georgia Department of Labor include Management analysts and Medical and health services managers.

Students graduating from our program can expect attractive job opportunities because of their writing, speaking, analytic, and research skills. Internships or part-time jobs in these sectors or industries will make them even more competitive for lucrative positions related to Organizational and Professional Communication. Description and Objectives: Program description and objectives (explain in narrative form).

Our goal is to educate undergraduates for careers in Organizational and Professional Communication, grounded in a strong liberal arts education, and through a program that offers theoretical and applied approaches. The Organizational and Professional Communication field is very broad. Unlike communication programs in public relations, for example, Organizational and Professional Communication does not easily translate into job titles. The Organizational and Professional Communication professionals who participated in the focus group interview described in 2) above emphasized skills in writing, speaking, and training design and delivery using multi-media technology. They also emphasized skills in needs assessment and other types of research and the applicants’ abilities to serve as internal communication consultants or as employees of consulting companies. This program will offer courses in public speaking, organizational and professional communication writing, intercultural communication, team communication, careers in organizational and professional communication, and conflict management, as well as the unique training and development emphasis. The capstone course requires students to conduct assessments of organizational communication effectiveness in community client


organizations and to make recommendations for improvement based on these need assessments. Thus, the program has a service-learning component culminating in the capstone project that provides students the experience of working together in teams to satisfy an actual organizational client. Internships, a proposed study tour of international businesses in the metro Atlanta area, and study abroad opportunities supplement the traditional classroom learning settings.

Objectives of the program: a) Students will become knowledgeable about and prepared for Organizational and

Professional Communication careers b) Students will be able to combine theory with Organizational and Professional

Communication skills c) Students will develop beginning to advanced writing, speaking, and research skills as

they progress through the program d) Students will be able to conduct advanced needs assessment and training program design

and delivery e) Students will develop digital production skills in video, audio, and document design f) Students will be strongly encouraged to enroll in internships for academic credit to

strengthen their ability to compete for post-graduate employment g) Faculty will mentor students in creating a portfolio of professional quality

Organizational and Professional Communication materials for internship and job placement

h) Students will learn intercultural communication skills that will prepare them to work in global business environments

3) Need: Description of the justification of need for the program. (Explain in narrative form why the program is required to expand curricular academic offerings at the institution, the data to provide graduates for the workforce, and/or the data in response to specific agency and/or corporation requests in the local or regional area.) Please see 2.) above for data regarding national and local employment trends for graduates of this program.

To meet priorities identified by hiring organizations at the focus group interview described above, we need to change from the Organizational Communication concentration to a major in Organizational and Professional Communication. The more specific degree title B.S. in Organizational and Professional Communication will identify our students’ particular skills within the very broad communication discipline.

4) Demand: Description of how the program demonstrates demand. (Explain in narrative form the data that supports demand for the program from existing and potential students and requests from regional industries.)

Please see 2.) above for data regarding national and local employment trends and salaries for graduates of this program. The program meets the demand indicated by the national and local employment trends as well as the skills identified by professionals in our focus group interview (also described at the beginning of 2).


Student demand for organizational communication programs is strong, both at KSU and nationally. We currently have 109 students in the Organizational Communication Concentration, and we expect even more student demand after we implement the new COM 2030 Careers in Organizational Communication to familiarize students with the many opportunities for this degree, which is significantly different from the other degree programs in the School of Communication and Media. Nationwide, for the most recent years available with complete data, 2010-2014, an average of 922 degrees in Organizational Communication were awarded annually. This number is especially impressive given that many students who study organizational communication receive degrees that read only Communication or Communication Studies, as is the case with our current Organizational Communication Concentration. From the national list, the two schools that are our peer institutions are Cleveland State University and Temple University. Both institutions have seen continuous growth in Organizational Communication degrees awarded from 2010 to 2015. Cleveland State’s demand for this degree increased from 16 in 2010 and 15 in 2011 to 40 in 2014 and 47 in 2015, a 294% increase. Temple awarded 24 Organizational Communication degrees in 2010, experienced a dip to 12 degrees in 2011, then grew steadily to a high of 176 degrees in 2015. Temple’s demand for the degree over the six-year period 2010-2015 increased by 733%. The table below shows KSU’s enrollments in the Organizational Communication concentration. There is significant demand for the Organizational Communication Concentration degree, and we expect demand to increase with the conversion to a major and with the addition of COM 2030 Careers in Communication to better inform students about what the degree has to offer.

existing academic offerings in the geographic area and within the system as a whole. If similar programs exist, indicate why these existing programs are not sufficient to address need and demand in the state/institution’s service region and how the proposed program is demonstrably different.


Based on our research, Kennesaw State will be the only university in the state of Georgia to offer a specific major in Organizational and Professional Communication. The major will offer students an Organizational and Professional Communication education that includes combined required curriculum in organizational assessment, training and development, and delivery of training through state-of-the-art training software programs. Many other communication programs combine Organizational and Professional Communication with public relations. No other academic program in the state offers a major specifically focused on Organizational and Professional Communication with an assessment, training design, and training and consulting delivery focus.

d) State the total number of credit hours required to complete the program, but do

not include orientation, freshman year experience, physical education, or health and wellness courses per the Academic and Student Affairs Handbook, Section 2.3.1.


Total hours = 120.

e) If this is a doctoral program, provide the names of four external reviewers of aspirational or comparative peer programs complete with name, title, institution, e-mail address, and telephone number. External reviewers must hold the rank of associate professor or higher in addition to other administrative titles. Not applicable.

f) If internships, assistantships, or field experiences are required to complete the

academic program, provide information documenting internship or field experience availability and how students will be assigned, supervised, and evaluated. Internship is available as an elective. The School of Communication and Media has a faculty member who serves as Internship Coordinator, supervising and evaluating students according to stated criteria. Students apply for and select their own internship sites with approval of the Internship Coordinator.

g) Within the appendix, append the course catalog descriptions for new courses.

Include the course prefixes, course numbers, course titles, and credit hour requirements.

Please see Appendix A.

11) Waiver to Degree-Credit Hour (if applicable): State whether credit-hours exceed maximum limits for the academic program and provide a rationale. Not applicable. 12) Student Learning Outcomes: Student Learning outcomes and other associated outcomes of the proposed program (provide a narrative explanation).

Student Learning Outcomes: a) Students will become knowledgeable about and prepared for Organizational and

Professional Communication careers b) Students will be able to combine theory with Organizational and Professional

Communication skills c) Students will develop beginning to advanced writing, speaking, and research skills as

they progress through the program d) Students will be able to conduct advanced needs assessment and training program design

and delivery e) Students will develop digital production skills in video, audio, and/or document design f) At least 25% of the Organizational and Professional Communication majors will enroll in

internships for academic credit to strengthen their ability to compete for post-graduate employment


g) With faculty mentoring, students will create a portfolio of professional quality Organizational and Professional Communication materials for internship and job placement

h) Students will demonstrate intercultural communication skills that will prepare them to work in global business environments

i) At least 25% of the Organizational and Professional Communication majors will participate in study abroad or other intercultural opportunities outside of classwork in courses such as ORGC 3325 Intercultural Communication.

As Section 3 above indicated, “Our goal is to educate undergraduates for careers in Organizational and Professional Communication, grounded in a strong liberal arts education, and through a program that offers theoretical and applied approaches. The Organizational and Professional Communication field is very broad. Unlike communication programs in public relations, for example, Organizational and Professional Communication does not easily translate into job titles. The Organizational and Professional Communication professionals who participated in the focus group interview described in 2) above emphasized skills in writing, speaking, and training design and delivery using multi-media technology. They also emphasized skills in needs assessment and other types of research and the applicants’ abilities to serve as internal communication consultants or as employees of consulting companies. As the concentration in Organizational Communication in the B.S. in Communication major has done in the past, the B. S. in Organizational and Professional Communication will offer courses in public speaking, organizational and professional communication writing, intercultural communication, team communication, careers in organizational and professional communication, and conflict management, as well as the unique training and development emphasis. The capstone course requires students to conduct assessments of organizational communication effectiveness in community client organizations and to make recommendations for improvement based on these need assessments. Thus, the program has a service-learning component culminating in the capstone project that provides students the experience of working together in teams to satisfy an actual organizational client. Internships, a proposed study tour of international businesses in the metro Atlanta area, and study abroad opportunities supplement the traditional classroom learning settings.“

13) Assessment and Quality: Describe institutional assessments throughout the program to ensure academic quality, viability, and productivity as this relates to post-approval enrollment monitoring, degree productivity, and comprehensive program review.

As a concentration in the B. S. in Communication degree, the program already has a track record of viability and productivity including degree productivity and has successfully undergone two rounds of comprehensive program review. As the university is currently revising its institutional assessment program, we will continue the present assessment program, which is focused on measuring outcomes at the end of the organizational communication concentration, just before graduation. Students in the capstone Communication Audits course regularly receive letters of recognition from the


organizations for which they have conducted communication audits and made recommendations for improving communication going forward.

14) Accreditation: Describe disciplinary accreditation requirements associated with the program (if applicable, otherwise indicate NA). N/A

15) Enrollment Projections: Provide projected enrollments for the program

specifically during the initial years of implementation. a) Will enrollments be cohort-based? Yes____ or No__X___ (place an X beside one) b) Explain the rationale used to determine enrollment projections.

*The Organizational and Professional Communication Program Director will have a workload of 4-4 and a teaching load of 2-2 as directed by the Dean for the College of Humanities and Social Sciences in agreement with the School of Communication and Media Director. The Program Director manages the curriculum, oversees faculty hires, proposes new and revised curriculum, and anticipates technology resource needs.

c) Explain how faculty workloads will be impacted by the proposed new program. Except for the Organizational and Professional Communication Program Director, faculty workloads will not change. The School of Communication and Media governance documents specify the tenure-track faculty workload at 4-4; the teaching load portion of that is 3-3. The Director’s workload will not change, but the teaching load will change from 2-3 to 2-2 to accommodate administration of the program, which has continued to grow. This teaching load is the same as that for the Directors of the other three majors or proposed majors in the School of Communication and Media. d)Explain whether additional faculty will be needed to establish and implement the program. Describe the institutional plan for recruiting additional faculty members in terms of required qualifications, financial preparations, timetable for adding faculty, and whether resources were shifted from other academic units, programs, or derived from other sources. All resources for the major are those already available to the current Organizational Communication concentration in the B.S. in Communication program. The number of courses in the proposed Organizational and Professional Communication B.S. program is the same as the number of courses in the current Organizational Communication concentration in the B.S. in Communication program. (One course will be dropped and one will be added.) If the program grows as anticipated, new course sections will be added and a new faculty hire for FY 19 is included in the budget. . Fiscal and Estimated Budget


a) Describe the resources that will be used specifically for the program. Existing resources (faculty/space/equipment) will be used. We are converting an existing concentration into a major. b) Budget Instructions: Complete the form further below and provide a narrative to address each of the following: Budget Narrative:

1) The B.S. in Organizational and Professional Communication makes full use of existing courses. For the 2017-2018 academic year, one course (COM 2030; 3 credits) has been added and one course eliminated. This constrains the costs directly attributable to the new program and the number of new faculty needed to support the Bachelor of Science in Organizational and Professional Communication course sections. Current faculty salaries are included in personnel (existing positions). Current faculty salaries are adjusted with an approximate 2% merit and/or promotion increase in FY19 and 20. Additionally, existing space and equipment will be used for the new major.

2) The new tuition reflects the tuition generated from enrollment in the new BS in Organizational and Professional Communication courses and existing courses. Tuition was calculated by multiplying $2,660 (for full-time enrollment) X number of majors per fiscal year X 2 semesters (fall and spring).

3) The program proposal includes one new Assistant Professor faculty line in the second year of the program implementation timeline.

4) The School of Communication and Media’s recurring operating budget (supplies, travel, and equipment) will be increased to accommodate the new major.

As shown in the budget table, revenues will far outpace expenses with the implementation of the major. We do not expect the institution will need to cover any shortfalls with the implementation of this major.

c) For Expenditures:

i) Provide a description of institutional resources that will be required for the program (e.g., personnel, library, equipment, laboratories, supplies, and capital expenditures at program start-up and recurring). ii) If the program involves reassigning existing faculty and/or staff, include the specific costs/expenses associated with reassigning faculty and staff to support the program (e.g., cost of part-time faculty to cover courses currently being taught by faculty being reassigned to the new program, or portion of full-time faculty workload and salary allocated to the program).


a) For Revenue: i. If using existing funds, provide a specific and detailed plan indicating

the following three items: source of existing funds being reallocated; how the existing resources will be reallocated to specific costs for the new program; and the impact the redirection will have on units that lose funding.

ii. Explain how the new tuition amounts are calculated. Tuition is calculated by

iii. Explain the nature of any student fees listed (course fees, lab fees, program fees, etc.). Exclude student mandatory fees (i.e., activity, health, athletic, etc.).

iv. If revenues from Other Grants are included, please identify each grant and indicate if it has been awarded.

v. If Other Revenue is included, identify the source(s) of this revenue and the amount of each source.

b) When Grand Total Revenue is not equal to Grand Total Costs:

i. Explain how the institution will make up the shortfall. If reallocated funds are the primary tools being used to cover deficits, what is the plan to reduce the need for the program to rely on these funds to sustain the program?

ii. If the projected enrollment is not realized, provide an explanation for how the institution will cover the shortfall
