Information Design & Communication - Southern Polytechnic State University

Information Design & Communication from Southern Polytechnic State University is a Campus Master Design degree that prepares you for a Art and Design career. What is Information Design and Communication? When we launched the graduate program in 1988, we named it the MS in Technical and Professional Communication. That was the right name for that time, because we were targeting both technical and professional communicators. As the program grew, so did the profession. Technical communication was no longer focused on only writing documentation; instead, there were many emerging sub-specialties in which technical communicators worked. We added new courses to reflect the broadening of the profession; we also dropped the distinction between technical and professional communication. Given the changes in the profession and the many job titles our graduates had in their work, we soon felt we had outgrown the name of our degree . We changed our name to Information Design and Communication. This name change recognized that our students were coming into the program with diverse academic backgrounds and strengths. It also recognized that our students had unique personal and professional goals for their education.Through our degree or certificate programs, our students were seeking additional academic and professional qualifications in visual communications, graphics, instructional technology, media, user experience, information architecture, web design , and, of course, technical communication. Our program?now defined as Information Design and Communication?enabled students to focus their studies in an area they chose and to present their credentials through a portfolio of projects. In short, it's our academic credential and the student's work that markets each graduate as unique and highly qualified. Whether you're looking to start a career or you're a working professional who wants an additional credential, our degree or certificates are an excellent choice.
