The English classes required for the 60-credit Technical Writing comprehensive major are geared toward editing, writing, and design skills. These classes usually incorporate classroom study with hands-on projects from the community. For example, in Document Design class, students use PageMaker to develop a newsletter or brochure for a specific community business or organization. In technical editing, students may edit a manuscript to make it ready for publication. The opportunities are endless, and the attraction for students taking this program includes hands-on work incorporated into the classroom.
Internships are another reason the technical writing program attracts students.
