The Master of Science in Technical Communication prepares students primarily to work as communicators and technical writers - especially for organizations specializing in the biomedical field, computer technology, or business and financial services and planning - but also to pursue further graduate work in the field. The MSTC is a result of a collaboration with the English Department. It is specifically designed to help focus and develop the skills of those already working as entry- or intermediate-level communicators, technical writers, editors, and/or managers in the biomedical field, the field of computers and information technology, or the field of business and financial services and planning. The MSTC also offers those currently trained and/or employed in other fields the opportunity to train intensively for employment as skilled, intermediate- or senior-level technical writers, communicators, editors, and/or managers in those fields.
