About the MTPW
Since 1993, the MTPW has been preparing students for technical communication careers in a variety of fields throughout the US and abroad, including: technology, healthcare, science, government, business, education and marketing.
The degree curriculum balances critical academic inquiry with applied courses that prepare students with the skills and competencies that employers are looking for. The curriculum is portfolio-based, which means that throughout the program students create professional-quality portfolio artifacts that showcase their work as professional technical communicators.
