“It is because of the MSTC degree that I found a full-time job as a Technical Writer. This degree is highly valued in the industry and corporations have very high regard for a specialization in the Technical Communication field.

I have found this degree extremely valuable in helping me transition from my previous job to my current one, and developing my knowledge in the field of technical writing… I believe that this degree will help me in directly applying my knowledge at my workplace. ”
