San Francisco State University offers a major, minor, and certificate in
technical writing--I just graduated from there with a B.A., and although
it's not perfect, (they teach ForeHelp instead of RoboHelp) I did learn a
lot: www.sfsu.edu/~tpw

Subject: Good tech writing schools?
Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2000 17:06:02 -0800 (PST)
Dear TECHWR-L subscribers,
I am considering a career change and would like to enter the technical
writing profession. I have general knowledge in the use of several
industry programs such as MS Word and Adobe Framemaker. I am uncertain
whether I should pursue a degree program or certificate program in
technical writing. Can any of you offer suggestions? Also, I was
wondering if you know the best schools that offer tech. writing
programs? The location is not important, since I am willing to travel
anywhere in North America to attend a good school. I would greatly
appreciate any information you can provide. Thanks!
Sincerely,
Sarah Park
