Graduate Certificate in Technical Communication
The Graduate Certificate in Technical Communication is intended for students enrolled in any graduate degree program and for local professionals. A graduate student in geophysics, for instance, might wish to earn the certificate because he knows that he will be making presentations at professional conferences and writing journal articles. An accountant might wish to improve her technical communication skills to enhance her work performance.
The certificate enables students to choose a unified, coherent group of courses in technical communication and related fields from other disciplines that will improve their understanding of the public role of written communication and their on-the-job skills.
Students who wish to substitute an alternative course for one of the two listed electives may petition the Director of Technical Communication.
To obtain the Graduate Certificate, complete the Completion of Graduate Certificate form, and take it to your committee chair.
