Program Description

The Technical Communication Minor helps you gain valuable skills in visual design, usability testing, technical writing and instructional design. In addition, you will learn how to use productivity tools effectively and modern technologies and assess challenges in digital accessibility and search engine optimization. This minor will prepare you for technical communication in multi-media programs and various career settings. 

Additionally, if you have completed your degree and want to come back to KSU for classes that will help you make the next move in your career, then our Technical Communication Certificate is for you. Our Technical Writing (TCOM 2010) class is required for both the minor and certificate. This class introduces the organization, style, and mechanics of technical writing. You will also practice writing specific documents such as technical descriptions, instructions, proposals and recommendation reports.
