Professional Communication Certificate

Program Coordinator: Matthew Cox (2211 Bate Building; 252-737-1664; coxmat@ecu.edu)

Communication professionals work in a rapidly changing environment that requires them to update their abilities throughout their working career. Both conceptual and technological issues underlie those changes. The Professional Communication Certificate is designed to help those communicators remain competitive.

The certificate requires 15 s.h. of courses in the area of technical and professional communication with a minimum B average in all certificate course work. Only 3 s.h. of a grade of C will count toward this certificate. Internship (ENGL 6740 , ENGL 6741 ) and directed reading (ENGL 6725 ) courses cannot count toward the certificate. No hours in another discipline can be counted. Additional details can be obtained by contacting the director of graduate studies in the Department of English.
