Overview

The Masters of Arts in Professional Communication combines work in theory and research with a comprehensive emphasis on written, oral, and visual communication in professional contexts. This program will prepare you to work as a professional communicator for industry or public service or to teach in two year colleges. In addition, the program provides the background necessary to pursue a Ph.D. in rhetoric or technical communication or opt for a career working in a variety of media across the industries. In this program you are encouraged to tailor the degree to meet your individual career objectives.

During your course of study, you will also have the opportunity to work with some of the latest technology available for document design in the Multimedia-Authoring, Teaching and Research Facility, and in the Usability Testing Facility. You may also have the chance to work in a variety of other disciplines, as the MAPC program has the potential to draw on Clemson's expertise in agriculture and natural resources, architecture, city and regional planning, engineering, textiles, and basic sciences and technologies. In addition, the Campbell Chair in Technical Communication, the Pearce Center for Professional Communication, the Effective Technical Communication program in engineering, and the Health Communications Certificate constitute a network of professors who can enable students to work in professional communication in a variety of disciplines.
