The Society for Technical Communication (STC) is re-launching its Academic Database, and we need information on your school's Technical Communication program.

Purpose

To assist those interested in pursuing a career in technical communication, the STC provides a database of academic programs worldwide. Institutions are invited to add their programs to the database.

The STC Academic Database has undergone major changes, which will improve its usefulness to both users and institutions. The new database is set up slightly differently than the previous database, which is no longer accessible. As a result, institutions offering a program of study in technical communication who want to be included in the new database need to create a new institutional record.

Each institution offering a program of study can list all degree and certificate programs under one institutional record, and users can search these records by program, location, and/or course delivery.

To access the new database, go to: http://stc.org/academic/index.aspx

How to add program information to the database

To enter an institution's record, visit http://stc.org/academic/adminHome.aspx and perform the following two steps:

Add the institution to the database and save the record, and
Add the individual programs offered by the institution and save each record. An institution will not appear on the search page until at least one program has been added to the institution's record.

When you add a program to your institutional record, you are asked to identify program delivery: onsite and/or online. Select the online category only if the program can be completed entirely online. If your program includes both onsite and online courses, you may select the onsite category.

We hope you will take a few minutes to add your institution to the STC Academic Database.

If you have questions about the database, please contact STC Academic Liaison Committee member Sally Henschel: sally.henschel@mwsu.edu
