7.4 - Why I Would Recommend the Professional Communications Program to You

CVTC’s Professional Communications program focuses on professional, technical, and business writing for a variety of media and industries and prepares individuals for professional careers as technical writers, copy writers, editors, grant writers, and related writing careers in business, government, and non-profit organizations. As someone who wasn’t 100% sure on what they wanted to do after high school, this program is everything I could've dreamed of. I knew I loved to write but still wasn’t sure on what that would look like as a future career. As you can see through the Professional Communications Program you are given the opportunity to learn about different areas in the professional writing field (After going through the courses I knew I wanted to become a technical writer). Even if you don’t find yourself wanting to write for a living any communications degree will take you far. Each course takes eight weeks to complete and you will enjoy earning your degree with the flexibility and convenience of this 100% online program.You can do school from your couch and work full time if you need to (at least that’s what I do). 

Throughout this program, you'll learn valuable skills such as: 

• Document design, production, and management
• Documentation development
• Publishing in print and electronic media
• Rhetoric, writing, and digital literacy theories
• Social media content creation
• Usability testing
• Visual rhetoric and multimedia composition
• Web content writing

Not only will you learn about these things but you will also earn four certifications in addition to learning about them. Earning an associates and four certificates is incredible. It gives you a lot of future career opportunities once you’re done.
