The Technical Communication curriculum links intensive course work in technical writing, graphic design and liberal arts and sciences to prepare students for positions of responsibility in technical communication.
Technical writers interpret and communicate specialized information for practical use.
Their responsibilities include project planning, working as a member of a team, researching, interviewing, design, writing, rewriting and editing. The curriculum uniquely combines advanced technical writing courses with layout, design and computer publishing courses from graphic design. The technical writing courses give a solid background in report writing, end-user documentation, global and local editing, and technology issues. Students have the chance to participate in an internship, if desired.
