International Scientific & Technical Communication

• An online graduate certificate in international technical communication would meet the needs of working professionals by providing them with a distance education opportunity to learn advanced theoretical and practical approaches to
  • composing documents and other information products for local and global translation;
  • writing collaboratively online in increasingly more diverse virtual workspaces;
  • developing best practices for new online writing workspaces that are informed by current technical communication research.
• An online graduate certificate program reaches out to workplaces across the state of Ohio whose growing reliance on technology to enhance their productivity requires the expertise of technical communicators.
• By affording continuing education opportunities to these working professionals, our certificate program will directly enhance the productivity of the industries in which they work.

Admission into the program

• Students who wish to be admitted to the online graduate certificate program must hold a bachelor’s degree with a 2.7 minimum grade point average (in any field). International students who apply to the program will do so according to the existing procedures for all international students who apply to BGSU as graduate students. In addition, students will be required to participate in an online interview with S&TC Program faculty using real time, text-based, synchronous communication tools available through the Blackboard course management system.
