Connecting companies and consumers through communication
In today's world with its increasingly complex technologies, being able to explain technology and ideas to consumers is a critical skill. The type of skill developed through MSOE's BSTC program.
The field of technical communication is a logical extension of the rapid growth in technology. As a technical communicator, you'll help users, often consumers, understand and use technology and products. You'll work closely with engineers and other technical staff and use your expertise to inform or train others about the product's use. You'll assist both customers and coworkers in understanding technology.
Graduates of the BSTC program
work as technical writers and editors, content developers, documentation
specialists, instructional designers,
information architects, usability and human factors professionals, and web
designers and developers, and translators. Their work makes technical
information understandable to those who need it.
2+2 Transfer Program
The BSTC is a degree completion program that enables those with an associate degree or two years of college credits to complete a bachelor's degree. Those accepted into the degree program are granted junior standing. In some cases, prerequisite courses may be required.
The degree in technical communication at MSOE is designed to provide you with:
- a core liberal arts education in humanities and social sciences
- courses that will allow students to design and produce both written documents and oral presentations for business, industry and institutions
- literacy in basic engineering, mathematics, physical science, computers and business
The MSOE Advantage
MSOE offers a convenient way to complete this degree through evening courses. Professors bring their years of real-life, work experience into the classroom to show you how to do what they do. And you will never be taught by a teaching assistant. We deliver small classes taught by faculty with business experience.
You'll
find the same learn-by-doing approach that is prevalent throughout MSOE's
degree programs in your classrooms and high-tech labs.
