To succeed as a technical communicator, you need not only to learn technical communication skills, but to develop some subject-matter knowledge in the area you wish to work - whether science, industry, medicine, government, or some other technical field.
Your minor is a good opportunity to build what we call domain expertise. But we want to make sure your minor fits with your technical communication career goals.
What if my minor isn't on the list?
Minors that are not on the list may be approved by the TC advisor.
