During the fall of 2006, the Mass Communication faculty created a recruiting brochure to tell the story of the Mass Comm program area. A main feature of the brochure reports on 2006 surveys of want alumni and current students think of the program at WSC.

Two-thirds of students taking Mass Communication courses, including all majors, listed the following strengths:

• Hands-on experience available in multiple areas of Mass Communication
• Educated, experienced faculty who involve their classes and are passionate about their subject matter; ability to ask questions without being afraid
• The close-knit nature of the faculty and students in the program area
• Potential for success after college

The Mass Communication alumni overwhelmingly said they would recommend the Wayne State College program.

Many alumni who said they would recommend Mass Communication at WSC praised the hands-on opportunities for students and the opportunities for media leadership experiences, the student/teacher ratio, the flexibility of the program and quality of instruction, the fostering of teamwork, and the extra attention from faculty possible at a small college.

Only two of the alumni recommending the Mass Communication program mentioned the affordable cost as a primary advantage, with the balance focusing on the program and faculty.
