This degree is taught by ASU’s College of Integrative Sciences and Arts, so you'll enjoy an approach to teaching, learning and discovery that brings many fields of knowledge together to form ideas and solutions. At the same time, you'll have the flexibility to focus on what you love most. Technical communication is applied workplace communication that makes technical or specialized information understandable and available to many different users. It involves using a variety of technologies to craft an ever-expanding array of print and digital information products: websites, social media sites, help files, training materials, grants and proposals, and data visualizations, to name just a few. Technical communicators work in many professional roles, such as information developer, grant writer, web interface designer or user experience specialist. What all of these roles have in common is the focus on creating accessible and appealing communication that has a practical purpose and is intended for a particular audience. Students in the technical communication program learn how to analyze, write, design, produce and manage print and digital information using traditional and developing technologies.
