Auburn University’s Master of Technical and Professional Communication may be the graduate program for you.
Since the first students graduated in 2002, more than 50 students have earned MTPC degrees. Almost all of those students (more than 90%) are employed; most got jobs within a few weeks of graduation. According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, demand for technical communicators is expected to increase faster than the demand for other types of writers “because of the continuing expansion of scientific and technical information and the need to communicate it to others.”
The MTPC program is a flexible, 30 credit-hour graduate program that prepares students for a great variety of positions as writers, editors, web designers, information developers, proposal specialists, corporate trainers, among others in this fast-growing field.

"My career has been great, and I can truly attribute the opportunities I've been given to my MTPC experience and degree. Teaching as a graduate assistant and defending my portfolio gave me the confidence to interview well and to give presentations, and it also provided a "jump off" point for moving into a training role." Angela Woods Redden (MTPC ‘04)  |
