"A Survey of U.S. Certificate Programs in Technical Communication",
Programmatic Persepctives, Volume 5 Issue 1 (Spring 2013); from the
Council for Programs in Technical and Scientific Communication
Abstract. Many colleges and universities offer certificates in
technical communication as an alternative to full undergraduate or
graduate degrees in the field. Despite certificatesâ increasing
popularity in recent years, relatively little commentary exists about
them within the scholarly literature. This article describes a survey
of technical communication certificate and baccalaureate program
administrators undertaken to develop descriptive data on programsâ
age, size, and graduation rates; departmental location; curricular
requirements; online offerings; and instructor status and
qualifications. It concludes by discussing implications of these data
for a number of larger conversations within the field of technical
communication.
