Welcome to the SDSU
website for our Advanced Certification for Technical and Scientific
Writing. If you are looking for your next technical writer, work
with us to see how we can help. Why work with SDSU?
Reputation
The program is the oldest, longest running program in the region and has been
placing interns and hires throughout the region for over 20 years. Through
good times and bad, SDSU has always focused on producing the region's finest
technical communicators and building on its reputation among employers.
Real-world lessons
The program emphasizes hands-on, real-world skills with simulations
of workplace writing, social dynamics, and tasks. The courses
feature the latest tools used in the field, including Robohelp,
Photoshop, Framemaker, and Dreamweaver.
Faculty
The courses are taught by
scholars with extensive academic and industry experience. From
biotechnology to finance to private
and public sector experience, SDSU's broad range of faculty have
decades of experience to offer. The cutting edge of industry
often starts in academia, and the SDSU faculty are found there
as well, often teaching the SDSU graduate students in SDSU's
Department of Rhetoric and Writing Studies.
Internships
The sponsoring organization gains a knowledgeable, motivated trainee
and an opportunity to screen potential employees. Most certificate
and graduate students are in their late twenties or older; many
have advanced academic and professional training not only in
rhetoric, writing, and communication but also in technical or
scientific subjects.
