Moore, P. (1997). The best tech. writing program in the U.S? Technically Speaking: The News from the Arkansas chapter of the Society for Technical Communication. 1-3.

Categories: Technology, Communication Design

Summary:

Moore's article described the early years of technical communication degrees, and hypothesized that Utah State University's graduate technical communication / professional communication degree would be at the top of the list do to a variety of factors, including: the balance of career, skill, and theoretical learning, the high starting salaries for graduates, the multimedia design aspects, online components, use of technology, state of the art media lab, and real world project opportunities.

Afterward: Since U.S. News and world started tracking tech comm graduate degrees, the authur's sentiments have proven correct, as Utah State regularly ranks in the best programs in the nation in both Technical Communication and Education.
