Graduate Communication Assessment
The communication assessment is designed to assess business professional writing skills in three areas:
- Grammar and mechanics
- Style
- Organization and development
It is highly recommended that students take the communication assessment immediately upon admission to Walsh College. It is administered free of charge, completed online, and can only be taken one time. Students taking the communications assessment will simply respond to the writing prompt and by writing their response in an essay format.
New graduate students entering the MAC, MSF, MSITL, and Dual degrees are required to complete the Graduate Communication Assessment (GCA) prior to their first COM 510 Leadership Communication class session.
The exam is scored on a scale of 1 through 6. Students with a score of 5 or higher will not be required to complete the COM 510 course as part of their program.
