About MSPTC

With seminars for the working professional available completely online, the Master of Science in Professional and Technical Communication (MS·PTC) is an innovative program of graduate study. NJIT, one of the nation’s leading comprehensive technological universities, ensures that a quality online education is offered within a rich, research-based community dedicated to providing state-of-the art learning platforms and electronic library resources. Students acquire an understanding of information technologies, new media, and communication issues while developing a professional ePortfolio as demonstration of their skills for careers in the rapidly expanding field of technical communication.

Mission: Both faculty and industry experts provide strong theoretical foundations within a practical framework. The program is intended for students and communication professionals who want to develop abilities in productive and transactional aspects of communication, the relationship between the humanities and emerging communication technologies, and the impact of that relationship on the new media that drives our global culture.

Core Values: MS·PTC colleagues engage in the shared belief of an anytime-anyplace learning community that sustains a unique combination of academic and applied skills. The program builds on learning outcomes informed by core competencies. These competencies, demonstrated in the ePortfolio, allow us to assess and improve student learning, faculty methods, and program development.

Vision: MS·PTC is committed to meeting the emerging challenges of technological and scientific innovations, new media and aesthetic design, cross-cultural environments, and global impact.
