The NJ Institute of Technology in Newark has a new
MS program in professional and technical communication.
*** Description follows. Delete now if not relevant *****
The MS consists of 30 credits, including a 6 credit thesis or
internship. There is also a certificate program that is awarded
after taking 5 specific courses.
The program is pending state approval, but the Program
Director says this should not be a problem. I recommend calling
the Program Director if you are interested in the certificate, MS,
or taking a few non-matric courses. She is very helpful.

"If writing and farming are in decline these days, it may be
because of the lost capacity to go it alone, to take risks, and
to be true to yourself." --Howard Kohn, The Last Farmer
