Our world is increasingly
driven by information, and those who can communicate complex ideas
quickly will be in high demand. Consequently, technical and scientific
writing is one of the faster growing sectors in the economy. For
example:
- Biotechnology companies need medical writers to prepare regulatory
documents and journal articles.
- Software companies need technical writers to design help sections
and manuals.
- Corporations need business writers to structure annual reports
and create press releases.
But if you think that writing a twenty page paper means that you
can communicate, think again. Just look at how much incomprehensible
documentation and communication surround you.
Technical communication is a field with decades of academic and
commercial research focused on audience analysis and information
architecture. Technical communicators use this knowledge to interpret
a sea of information and make it relevant and accessible to their
audience.
The SDSU program has a long history of technical communication
in San Diego, with faculty that are active in both industry and
research. If you are looking to train for a new career, increase
the job skills needed for a promotion, or connect with professional
networks, SDSU can help.
