Technical writers translate complex technical information into clear, concise messages for a variety of audiences. From the instructions required to assemble a desk to the software documentation needed to use a computer, technical writers produce essential materials for many products and services. Journal writing and magazine editing are also paths for technical writers. The Technical Communications Bachelor of Science degree provides students with the skills to begin or advance careers as writers, editors, or communications managers. An online degree-completion program is also available for this program.
