- A major in technical communication will prepare to write, present, and interact in any professional situation— will learn how people communicate in print and online, how they collaborate, and how they interact in the workplace.
- The coursework will focus on principles, practices, and technologies in the workplace, including studies in computer applications. Students will also learn about the structure and conventions of written, visual, and oral language. Summer or semester internships develop skills that cannot learn in the classroom alone.
- Research reveals that employers prize communication skills as much as technical skills, so a major or minor in this field will enhance any career path students choose. A degree in technical communication will prepare for employment in areas such as engineering, health care, banking and insurance, environmental sciences, computer programming, and product development.
