Specialties
The Technical and Scientific Communication degree is divided into three specific
specialties:
The following
are brief descriptions of what kind of communications you would be
working with for each specialty.
Computer
Science
If you decide to specialize in computer science, you might create
user documentation for computer hardware and software in print or online,
or in other multimedia communications that would enable customers to
use products effectively. Skilled technical communicators help
users realize the full potential of the latest hardware and software
products.

Environmental
Science
A professional area in environmental science is for you if you
are interested in becoming involved in environmental concerns such as
pollution, resource management, and the conservation of plants and animals
on our earth.
As
an environmental communicator, you could assist scientists by preparing
journal articles for publication. You might write proposals,
reports, and other communications to help secure funding for environmental
projects or to monitor hazardous waste clean-ups. You might
even work with naturalists in a zoo or park setting to develop communications
designed to make members of the general public more aware of their
effect on the environment.

Medical
and Health Science
An interest in medicine and health care might lead you to a professional
area in the biological sciences.
With this
professional area, you might work in a variety of public or private
organizations to assist scientists in preparing journal articles, research
and grant proposals, legislative reports, and other communications
for stakeholders, funding agencies, and the general public. You
might work in a large or small hospital to prepare patient education
materials or request funding and support from the public. You
might also work in a pharmaceutical company to prepare new drug applications
and related documents for the Food and Drug Administration, or instructional
and marketing materials for patients or physicians.
