Middle Georgia State University is adding a Master’s in Technical and Professional Writing to its degree program. It was approved by the University System of Georgia Board of Regents during their May 14 meeting. Pending approval by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges, the degree is set to launch in academic year 2019-20.

MGA already offered a graduate certificate in technical and professional writing. Associate professor of English and program coordinator Dr. Chip Rogers called the master’s program “the next logical step,” in a release issued by the university.

He added “Many of Middle Georgia State’s undergraduates getting bachelor’s degrees in English, new media and communications, information technology, and other disciplines have been asking for a master’s program like this, so we are confident of the enrollment potential.”

The program will consist of 30 credit hours, all online. Items covered in courses include rhetorical theory, the craft of technical and professional writing, and advanced digital literacy. The degree is designed to prepare students for or help them advance in fields such as technical and professional writing, editing, research, web-content management, advertising, human resources, business, government, non-profits, and marketing.
