Overview

Written Communication graduate program at Eastern Michigan Universit leads to a Master of Arts in Written Communication with an emphasis in the Teaching of Writing or Professional Writing. We also offer graduate certificate programs in Technical Communication and in the Teaching of Writing.

Learning outcomes

Eastern Michigan University graduates have demonstrated this adaptability with their range of job titles: technical communicator, proposal writer, content developer, information designer, interaction designer, instructional designer, social media coordinator, technical editor, lawyer, teacher, sports information director, user experience designer, technical author, content strategist, usability specialist, and even vice president for user happiness.The key to this adaptability is that the program teaches students to analyze the needs, audiences, and processes of business, organizations, and schools.
Students respond with documents, digital content, visuals, video, and websites that get the job done because they know how to analyze up front and test along the process. Our students learn to think strategically about writing and digital media, and how to test how language, visuals, and video actually work. The ability to assess the effectiveness of digital writing and media today is extremely valuable as more and more work in the field is digital and both employs and supports technology.
