Academic ProgramsAbout This Program
Companies in every type of industry are hiring people who can convert complex information into clear, concise language for their customers and employees. And they especially value communicators who are savvy in the visual and digital formats preferred by their audiences.
Although your college career will have you writing more than you’ve ever written in your life, most of it won’t prepare you for the specific formats that technical reports, proposals and training manuals require. Attention to detail is critical when writing for science or government, as is writing medical information simple enough for the average person to understand.
