Professional and Technical Writing, Minor Locations  

The minor in Professional and Technical Writing (PTW) provides a competitive advantage for those seeking careers in the sciences, technical industries, the military, and other professional environments requiring keen communication skills. Students become adept at analyzing audiences to anticipate their needs and fulfilling those needs with common workplace genres such as proposals, reports, presentations, memos, instructions, and more.

Additionally, students learn to produce effective, convincing documents in both print and digital formats and expand their ability to edit others’ writing.
