Certificate Program in Professional Writing> Program Information
Our certificate program puts theory into practice and provides students with direct experience in:
- Writing concise, well-organized materials to standards and regulations
- Planning, estimating, and managing complex technical documentation projects
- Designing effective documentation to meet audience needs
The Program consists of 21 units of study:
- 9 units (3 classes) of core classes
- 12 units (4 classes) of elective classes selected from a range of writing, technical, business, science, computer, graphics, art, and instructional design classes.
The Program also offers an internship for students with no previous workplace experience in technical communication. Internships allow a student to gain valuable experience. By the end of the program, students will have a portfolio of work to show prospective employers.
