ENGLISH

A key role in organizations

Technical and professional writers are in demand to explain ideas, technologies and products to people who need to understand or use them. A minor in technical and professional writing gives you the skills to work in almost any field, including high-technology industries, business, government and nonprofit organizations.

In addition to writing and editing many types of documents as a technical or professional writer, you might also manage writing and communication projects to ensure consistency and clarity across documents.

Writing skills for a complex, changing workplace

The ability to explain complex subject matter clearly in writing is an increasingly critical workplace skill. If you have good writing skills and a knack for understanding the way things work, a minor in technical and professional writing could be your ticket to a challenging and fulfilling career.
