Professional writers are employed in many job titles and professional writing is everywhere! Just consider how much writing you see all day long. Depending on the context, professional writing can be clear and concise or creative and expansive. It can be organized for quick access or meandering for maximum storytelling impact. From brand voice to SEO keywords, professional writers are hard at work shaping messages, persuading audiences, and measuring impact.

From the marketing email in your inbox, to the political policy being read on TV, to the brand experience campaign in Times Square, to the website you're reading right now: all of that is professional writing.

Ranging from creative writing to technical writing, professional writers are paid for travel writing, blogging, documenting research, writing pamphlets, developing white papers, producing public relations strategies, sellings products with ad copy, creating annual reports, working on communication plans, and cracking jokes on social media.

In full-time writing positions, part-time jobs, and freelance writing careers, professional writers produce strategic copy for companies and clients in ways that leverage new and emerging technologies to reach target audiences.

What is an MS in writing?

An MS in Writing is a Master of Science degree in Writing.

We pride ourselves on a curriculum that has real-world relevance and prepares confident writers with the skills to craft strategic, ethical copy for companies and clients across industries.

You can also use your time in the program to try a range of industries and writing roles before launching a career that matches your writing strengths and interests.

Is a professional writing degree worth it?

For those looking to make a career in writing, higher education is a wise investment to unlock new career paths and secure better job opportunities.

While many feared AI-generated content would cannibalize writing jobs, employment opportunities are projected to increase over the next 10 years for talented and creative writers with technical skills and proven abilities. However, now that generative language can do the job of a junior role in seconds, the labor market will likely require writers to come in with a powerful human voice and unique command of language. Our faculty know this and our curriculum is geared for these shifts. Our classes help students leverage new technologies while they hone advanced storytelling techniques, precise editing skills, and critical communication practices. Words have power and professional writers have impact.

What industries hire professional writers?

Almost all industries have a need for writers.

Can I complete one technical writing program without the other?

Absolutely. Both the Graduate Certificate in Technical Writing and Digital Communication are stand-alone graduate credentials.

Can I complete both technical writing programs?

Yes. A number of students have completed both degrees.

Students who complete the Graduate Certificate in Technical Writing and Digital Communication may then apply to the Master’s program. Their completed courses will count toward the Master of Arts in Technical and Professional Writing. For this option, contact the Graduate Coordinator.

Students in the Masters of Arts in Technical and Professional Writing may also choose to graduate with both the MA and the Graduate Certificate in Technical Writing and Digital Communication, completing course work simultaneously. For this option, contact the Graduate Coordinator after your admission to the MA.  We encourage all MA students to add this certificate to their program of study.

If I am admitted to the Master’s program, can I complete only the Graduate Certificate in Technical Writing and Digital Communication?

Definitely. Admitted M.A. students can still earn the certificate whether or not they complete the M.A. curriculum, as long as they complete the required Graduate Certificate course work. Students wishing to move from the MA program to the Graduate Certificate program should contact the Graduate Coordinator for more details.

Can I later add on other MGA Graduate Writing Programs, such as the Graduate Certificates in Creative Writing or Teaching College English?  Or move into those programs after completing the MA?

MGA’s School of Arts and Letters offers “stackable” graduate programs. Students can be enrolled in up to two graduate programs at a time. In fact, we encourage all MA students to add the Graduate Certificate in Technical Writing and Digital Communication, as you can earn both credentials with no additional coursework.

The Graduate Certificate in Creative Writing contains courses that can be used as electives in the MA in Technical and Professional Writing; the Graduate Certificate in Teaching College Writing includes courses also required in the MA and that can be used as electives. These courses will transfer directly into the certificate programs. Please contact the graduate coordinator for further details.

Any testing requirements for admission?

We do not require admissions exams for acceptance into the Master of Arts in Technical and Professional Writing or the Graduate Certificate in Technical Writing and Digital Communication.

Financial aid available?

While federal financial aid is available for the M.A., it is not currently available for the certificate. However, we do offer Graduate Certificate students other financing options such as Nelnet payment plans , alternative loans , tuition assistance programs (TAP), and third-party scholarships.

Are letters of recommendation required?

Letters of recommendation are not required for either the Master of Arts in Technical and Professional Writing or the Graduate Certificate in Technical Writing and Digital Communication.

What is “evidence of aptitude for success in graduate-level studies”?

A graduate admissions committee determines aptitude for success by reviewing applicants’ official transcript(s) and statement of interest. No additional materials beyond those indicated in the application instructions are required.

If I do not meet the GPA requirement, can I still apply?

Applicants with undergraduate GPA between 2.5 and 2.75 cannot be admitted straight into the Master of Arts program, but they can be admitted to the certificate program. On completion of the Graduate Certificate, these students would then be eligible for entry into the Master’s program.

Applicants who do not meet the 2.5 GPA threshold cannot be admitted into the Graduate Certificate or the M.A. program. Students may enroll in MGA’s undergraduate Professional Writing (PFWR) courses as transient students to raise their GPA and gain valuable related instruction that will equip them well for the graduate program if/when they are admitted.

Do the Master’s and Graduate Certificate programs start only in fall semester?

Not so. Admitted students may begin either program in fall, spring, or summer semester.

Do I need to live in Georgia or near Macon?

Not at all. Both programs are fully online. We do have students from across Georgia, but also students from as far away as Pennsylvania, Texas, and Oregon.

Are there application deadlines?

Yes. Check application deadlines by program here:  https://www.mga.edu/graduate-admissions/programs/index.php

Have A Question?

Ready to apply, careers & benefits.

In the TW&DR program, you will have opportunities to investigate the ways in which technical and rhetorical communication is created, used, and commodified. You will develop practical, theoretical, and ethical foundations for communicating across professional and sociocultural contexts.

Kenneth Burke said, “Wherever there is persuasion, there is rhetoric. And wherever there is ‘meaning,’ there is ‘persuasion.’” Digital rhetoric is simply a study of meaning-making in digital spaces. We apply classical and contemporary rhetorical theories to computer-mediated communication. Digital rhetoric is ubiquitous in today’s society, and it is certainly worthy of further understanding and advanced study.

You must take 4 required courses and 6 elective courses (30 credits). To graduate, you must earn a C or better in each class, with a cumulative 3.0 GPA. You must also fulfill institutional requirements, such as applying for graduation. Your advisor will help ensure your graduation readiness.

Required (9 cr)      ENGL 6401          Research Methods      ENGL 6400         Advanced Editing      ENGL 6402         Critical Theories

Must choose one (3 cr)      ENGL 6972R       Master’s Thesis      ENGL 6971          Professional Portfolio (includes research-based reflection)      ENGL 6900         Professional Internship (includes research-based justification and reflection)

Electives (18 cr, repeatable)      ENGL 6480R      Special Topics in Technical Writing      ENGL 6460R      Special Topics in Digital Rhetoric      ENGL 6470R      Special Topics in Writing Technologies      ENGL 6920R      Directed Readings

Graduate Assistants only (3 cr, must take during first teaching semester; counts as elective)      ENGL 6820         Practicum in Teaching College Composition

Course descriptions are located in UT’s catalog. A two-year course rotation is posted on the TW&DR website. Some courses not listed in the rotation are scheduled between you and the program chair to accommodate your personalized graduation plan.

You will work with the program chair to determine the best culminating course for you based on your short- and long-term career goals and your area of interest. You will select one final project:

     ENGL 6972R Master’s Thesis      ENGL 6971 Professional Portfolio (includes research-based reflection)      ENGL 6900 Professional Internship (includes research-based justification and reflection)

All classes except ENGL 6820 are held one night per week, usually Monday through Thursday 6:00-8:30 p.m. Onsite students will typically meet in a campus classroom, but they have the option to attend class remotely as well. Remote students will attend class online using video conferencing software.

All courses are taught onsite and online except ENGL 6820, which is only taught onsite. You can graduate taking classes entirely onsite, entirely online, or some of each. Although you are required to attend each class during its scheduled time, you may select how you attend class, which affords you the flexibility you may need to attend from anywhere in the world.

Standard webcams and computer audio are usually compatible with the online delivery. You do not need a Zoom subscription. Your professor will invite you to class each week, and you will log in simply by clicking the link posted in the email invitation. It’s quite simple, actually, and it’s free! We use a 360-degree, voice-sensitive camera that allows onsite and online students to interact seamlessly.

Graduate Assistants will take ENGL 6820 on campus during their first teaching semester. For now, the course is Fall-only, typically held on T/Th afternoons.

As part-time faculty, Graduate Assistants will be the instructor of record in composition courses (ENGL 1010 or ENGL 2010). They will teach 3 classes per year, typically one in the Fall and two in the Spring. They will not assist full-time faculty with grading, teaching, or research.

G.A.s must be enrolled in at least 6 credits per semester and maintain good standing in the program. G.A.s will attend a week-long workshop before classes begin in the fall and will enroll in a practicum during their first semester (ENGL 6820) to receive intensive training in teaching first-year writing.

G.A.s in the TW&DR program will earn the part-time faculty rate, which is currently $3000 for one composition course. G.A.s will earn $9000 per year teaching part time. Unfortunately, we are not in a position currently to offer tuition waivers, but we may be able to help students identify external scholarship, grant, or voucher opportunities.

G.A.s have intangible benefits, too. You get experience teaching and support from qualified staff. As nearly all university faculty will tell you, teaching on a college campus is an enormous privilege.

Currently, tuition and fees for the TW&DR M.A. is $345 per credit, plus student fees, for Utah residents. You pay a flat rate per credit, no matter how many you take per semester. Utah students will pay about $11,350 and non-residents will pay about $31,000 to take the required course load. UT—and the TW&DR program specifically—has the least expensive graduate tuition in the Utah System of Higher Education and one of the least expensive in the West. Similar graduate degrees in Utah cost about $14,000.

Graduate Assistants who teach every semester will earn substantially more than the degree costs.

Applicants must submit

  • Application form and $50 fee
  • Writing samples that demonstrate quality writing and analytical thinking
  • Two letters of recommendation
  • Personal statement
  • Letter of intent, for G.A. applicants only
  • Transcripts from accredited college indicating a B.A. or B.S. with 3.0 GPA or higher
  • Language proficiency in Standard American English, for international speakers

No. You are not required to submit standardized exam scores.

After the completion of this program, students will demonstrate the ability to:

  • Convert technical language into user-friendly language
  • Create software user manuals, documentation, and training materials
  • Create supporting documentation for products
  • Standardize content across platforms and media
  • Produce technical artifacts through common software tools such as Dreamweaver, InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, HTML editors, PowerPoint, Word, and Excel
  • Integrate photographs, drawings, diagrams, animation, and charts to increase users’ understanding of technical documents
  • Research topics to create technical publications
  • Devise audience-aware documents that demonstrate a strong command of grammar, syntax, diction, and writing conventions
  • Employ critical terms, theoretical concepts, and interpretive strategies associated with the study of digital rhetoric and technical writing

Our online Technical Writing GAC is a flexible four-course certificate offered in 8-week sessions and taught by award-winning scholars in the field of technical communication. We offer two pathways for prospective students. For students looking to change careers and become technical writers, we offer an industry-centric pathway that highlights the writing, designing, and production skills contemporary technical writers need. Students pursuing the industry pathway must have an undergraduate degree from an accredited university, but the degree does not need to be in a field related to technical writing. For students who already have an MA or a PhD in a related content area and who want additional technical writing teaching credentials, we offer the teaching-centric pathway that highlights pedagogical and writing strategies for technical writing classrooms. We offer rolling admissions, and new sessions begin every 8-12 weeks.

Distance Learning & Program Goals

In distance learning graduate courses, students "meet" via the Internet rather than in classrooms at the university. Graduate distance learning courses are taught as organized courses on the semester schedule. Students are expected to meet course deadlines assigned by the instructor and to participate in a synchronous class discussions on one designated weekday during the semester.  A graduate level course requires a commitment of approximately ten hours per week for participating in group online activities, for reading, and for working on course projects. The online MATC is 100% online. 

The online version of the master's degree in technical communication provides professional development for people working in technical communication. It also provides the qualifications for entering the career for people in other career fields. The specific goals of graduate study are:

  • Knowledge of history, theory, research, genres, and practice of technical communication
  • Knowledge of principles and techniques in the field
  • Development of effectiveness in technical communication

Upon completing the MATC curriculum successfully, students should be able to do the following:

  • Create effective technical documents justified with relevant theory. 
  • Analyze and respond appropriately to rhetorical situations and key issues in the field, including the differing goals and agendas of audiences, organizations, and societies.
  • Employ and justify user-centered approaches to technical communication.
  • Demonstrate sensitivity to the ethical, professional, and cultural issues that face technical communicators. 
  • Use communication technologies and media appropriate to users and situations.
  • Write clear, correct, and stylistically effective prose.

Students' success in meeting the outcomes stated above will be measured through the following means:

  • A semester review by the Director of Graduate Studies in Technical Communication and Rhetoric
  • A professional portfolio of work to be completed in the last semester of MATC coursework after taking the Capstone course.
