Write. Design. Code. Get paid. Technical communicators are in high demand because they make technical topics understandable and use technology to make information usable. The Department of Technical Communication emphasizes evidence-based approaches to preparing students with the technical communication skills required in modern workplaces: writing, designing and coding. Our B.A. and B.S. programs prepare students for entry-level positions as technical writers/editors, content developers, or usability professionals, most commonly working on teams to create user guides, web content, and proposals in companies within the information technology, consulting, and healthcare industries. Students earning the B.S. will be especially well-qualified for technology-heavy positions (e.g., front-end web developer, business analyst, etc.) in information technology and software companies.<br><br>Our Technical Communication Lab is equipped with the technology and software needed to complete course work, and Lab staff will help you learn the software skills such as word-processing, desktop publishing, photo manipulating and web designing required for technical and business documents. Internship and job opportunities abound because of the university's location in the Dallas-Fort Worth region, which employs the sixth most technical writers in the nation.
