Westminster College
I started attending Westminster College classes in the Master of Professional Communication program in the fall of 2003. I have a writing emphasis. Eager to go to a small college after the huge classes in my undergraduate school, UC Santa Barbara, my Westminster class sizes have ranged from a low of four students to a high of fifteen.
I interrupted my program when my family moved to Dubai for a year.
I have taken 35 credits which include the following classes: Professional & Technical Writing, Communication Ethics and the Democratic Process, Writing for Peer-Reviewed Publications, Writing for Popular Publications, Rhetorical Theory & Practice, Effective Presentations, Travel Writing, Professional Editing, Design Principles & Desktop Publishing, Grant Research and Writing, a Directed Studies class: “The Art of Indexing,” and Visual Communication.
Since my fall 2007 trip to Paris, I plan to complete my degree with the required 3-credit field project. I have chosen to compile an MPC Field Project Index, cataloguing all MPC field projects completed from 1992 to spring 2008. I will graduate in May 2008.
