Technical Communication

General Info | Degree Requirements | TESOL
Tech Communication | Class A Teacher Certification

Admissions | Allied Options | Core Courses | Elective

Two of the six courses in the Graduate Certificate must be in an "allied field," another discipline relevant to technical communication. These must be graduate courses taken in the last five years, and must be approved by the Director of Business and Technical Writing. Usually, the two courses are taken in the same discipline, although exceptions can be made. The most important factor is that the courses expand and broaden the student's education in technical communication.

M.A. students in English pursuing this certificate may choose to do a master's thesis in technical communication instead of the two allied field courses.

Allied field courses have been approved in the following disciplines: Computer Science, Education, Linguistics, Psychology, Political Science. A file of syllabi and sample papers from some of these courses is available from the Director of Business and Technical Writing.
