Professional Writing and Technical Communication

The Professional Writing and Technical Communication (PWTC) certificate prepares students for careers in technical and professional writing and digital communication. PWTC students gain project-based experience in editing, grant writing, software documentation, report writing, and web design. The program enjoys a well-established network of more than 300 graduates and a high placement rate.

Donations to the program will be used to keep the PWTC computer lab equipped with state-of-the-art hardware and software.
