GENERAL INFORMATION
Academic Adviser: Elisa Linsky
Students earning the Technical Communication degree complete a series of 36 credits in Technical Communication courses. Up to 20 credits of other professional courses may be substituted, with approval of the academic adviser, for Liberal Studies Focus Courses. The Technical Communication Program is designed to train students to synthesize or translate technical or specialized information so that it can be easily understood and used in business, academic and private settings. Students develop their research, writing, editing, and design skills as well as their interpersonal, organizational and management abilities. Students should have a strong foundation in communication skills as well as an interest in, or aptitude for, business, science, or technology. While the curriculum explores the theoretical foundations of contemporary communication, the program's emphasis is on the practice of effective communication. Through course projects and internships, students develop a solid portfolio that demonstrates a wide range of writing, editing and design skills as well as in-depth knowledge within a particular area of specialization.
