Companies in every type of industry are hiring people who can convert complex information into clear, concise language for their customers and employees. And they especially value communicators who are savvy in the visual and digital formats preferred by their audiences.
Although your college career will have you writing more than you’ve ever written in your life, most of it won’t prepare you for the specific formats that technical reports, proposals and training manuals require. Attention to detail is critical when writing for science or government, as is writing medical information simple enough for the average person to understand.
At MSU Denver, we’ll help you develop your voice to become the best technical writer and editor you can be. We’ll teach you how to research like a journalist, design like an artist and write like a novelist. By the time you graduate, you’ll have the hands-on experience to make an immediate impact in your career.
MSU Denver has close associations with Colorado’s aviation, aerospace, manufacturing, health care and technology sectors. Those industries have great need for people expert in technical writing and editing.
The median wage for technical writers in the U.S. is upwards of $70,000 per year. Technical writing jobs are expected to increase by 11 percent by 2026, which is faster than the national average.
Please contact Darcy Beery for more information about the Technical Writing and Editing program.
