Degree Requirements

B.A. and B.S.

The B.A. and B.S. programs in TSC are interdisciplinary and encourage students to take courses in a variety of fields. Many program electives are offered in academic units outside the institute, such as communication studies, computer information systems, computer science, integrated science and technology, and media arts and design. During their freshman and sophomore years, students should check prerequisites for upper-level electives offered in other academic units. Students should also work with department advisers to design a program that fits their unique educational needs and career aspirations. Requirements of the TSC degree might mean that some students will take courses beyond the 120 hour university requirement for B.A. and B.S. degrees.



M.A. and M.S.

Through a blend of course offerings and internship programs, the Master of Arts and Master of Science programs in Technical and Scientific Communication seek to provide students with communication skills and training that will enable them to build productive careers in industry or academia. They also introduce students to the most current communication technologies used to produce documents of professional quality. Finally, students learn the kinds of communication, analytical, and reasoning skills that will allow them to become leaders in their fields.
