The Humanities and Technical Communication program Why study Humanities and Technical Communication at SPSU? Southern Polytechnic's location in Marietta, Georgia, places it in close proximity to the South's leading technical center, Atlanta. Local and national companies have a continuing need for technical communication graduates, and they actively recruit SPSU graduates. About the Program We offer three degrees: the Bachelor of Arts in International Technical Communication, the Bachelor of Science in Technical Communication, and the Master of Science in Technical Communication. No matter which degree you're seeking, you will learn much more than just how to use words effectively -- you will study design, graphics, multimedia, web design, and video production as well. The faculty The Humanities and Technical Communication faculty include two fellows of the Society for Technical Communication, an author of a widely used technical communication textbook, and experts in the fields of usability, computer graphics, instructional technology, and electronic editing. Are there learning opportunities outside the classroom? Our students intern with such companies as Coca-Cola, Home Depot, IBM, AT&T, the Centers for Disease Control, Saab, iXL, WorldSpan, Nortel, Automated Logic, Scientific Games, Los Alamos National Lab, and Atlanta Gas Company, among others. What can I do with a Humanities and Technical Communication degree? Technical Communication graduates work in multiple capacities, as technical writers and editors, proposal writers, web page authors and site designers, information developers, publication managers and designers, multimedia specialists, instructional designers, graphic designers, and video producers. Will I find employment? Some of the nation's top companies recruit our graduates; among them, IBM, AT&T, Equifax, UNISYS, Home Depot, WorldSpan and ISS. Graduates also work at Georgia Tech and the Centers for Disease Control. Some go on to graduate study at prestigious universities, including the University of Washington and Harvard School of Public Health. |
