NONTRADITIONAL
STUDENTS
Most ISDP students are attracted to the program
because traditional college programs are not easily accessible
to them. Either prospective students do not live near a campus
program of interest, or their jobs or family situations make
attendance in traditional daytime or evening classes impossible.
Many have jobs that require extensive travel, or they may
expect to be transferred at least once in the time it would
take them to finish a degree.
STUDENTS WHO RISE TO
THE CHALLENGE
| ISDP is not an
easier path to a traditional degree. Add the difficulty
of studying independently to the highly structured curricula
and exacting academic standards, and it is clear that
ISDP is not for everyone. Success in the program requires
high scholastic aptitude, a superior command of written
English, a lively interest in reading and research, and
a capacity for self-directed study. |

STUDENTS WHO LOVE TO
LEARN
The typical ISDP Communications Management
student is a college graduate holding a baccalaureate
degree
from an accredited college or university in liberal arts,
mass communications, or public relations. He/she has at
least five years of full-time experience as a professional
in public relations but the great majority
fall into the 10-20 year range. His/her current
position and/or career advancement plans require expanded
knowledge and experience in counseling and decision-making
processes; a firmer grasp of management and finance; a global
perspective; strategic planning; and leadership.
