The Evening Master of Science progam began in 2000 and is modeled after our daytime program. This program offers classes in the evening so that working professionals can keep their jobs while earning their MSTC in the evening.

Like the day MSTC, the program is designed to prepare students to assume leadership roles in the field of technical communication. It focuses on helping participants refine their skills in the design, production, and evaluation of technical information. Students are prepared for applications within the field of interest they choose. Graduates can prepare for careers in technical or scientific writing, information design, user interface design, usability testing, and other technical fields. The MSTC course of study consists of 41 credits. Participants must complete their Master's Degree within three years of admission; most finish within 1-2 years.

There are two main differences between the day MSTC and the evening MSTC:

1.  The day program is state-supported and the evening program is not. The evening program is offered through our partner, UW Educational Outreach (UWEO), and since it is completely self-sustaining it has a slightly higher tuition rate.

2.  Evening MSTC students can take up to two courses from outside the department. For more information on non-TC coursework, please contact the academic adviser.
