Our programs' distinctive features include:


*1. Competitive Funding for Onsite MA & PhD Students*



We remain well-poised in an era of uncertain financial times for higher
education. We guarantee four years of annual stipends ($20,000) for all of
our onsite PhD students and two years of stipends ($14,000) for our onsite
MA students. Lubbock, TX also offers a low cost of living for a city with a
population of 300,000+. *And oh, did we mention the 300+ days of sunshine* in
the south plains?



*2. Diverse Faculty Strengths*



We have 15 assistant, associate, and full professors with an array of
theoretical, practical, and methodological approaches to technical
communication and rhetoric. Our particular area strengths are:


   - Technical Communication and User Experience Design
   - Rhetorics of Science, Health, and Medicine
   - Composition, Literacy, and Pedagogy
   - Ethics, Feminism, and Public Rhetoric



*3. Graduate Student Placement in Academia and Industry*

We realize that the traditional purpose of a graduate degree has been
changing from the exclusive pursuit of a tenure-track academic position. Our
current MA and PhD students come to us from companies like Google and
Microsoft to grow their practitioner careers as technical communicators
while others prepare for traditional academic posts.

Similarly, we prepare our MA students for industry or for application to
PhD programs in rhetoric, composition, and technical communication.



*4. Flexibility for a Synchronous Online Graduate Education Experience*



Our online and onsite MA and PhD programs offer great practical flexibility
for current or future working professionals. All of our courses are offered
online in a synchronous format that brings together all of our students in
a virtual community of learning.


We look forward to receiving applications from your students! We have
attached a flyer that you can share with your students.


Thank you!
