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
