Persons who may be interested in the electronic Graduate Certificate in Technical Writing and Communication include (1) current graduate students in English who are concentrating in literature but would like documentation of their technical writing skills; (2) graduate students in other disciplines who would like documentation of the “demonstrated oral and written communication skills” so often requested in job advertisements; (3) people in the workforce who are seeking additional skills to increase their chances of advancement; and (4) people not yet in the workforce who seek to increase their potential salaries and employability and by earning valuable skills such as technical writing skills. These last two groups may also be attracted to the program because of its electronic nature. Those already employed or living at a distance from Ruston do not need to take scheduling or distance into account when considering this program.
