Academic Programs Database

STC is re-launching its Academic Database, and we need information on your school's Technical Communication program!

Purpose: To assist those interested in pursuing a career in technical communication, STC provides a database of academic programs worldwide. Institutions are invited to add their programs to the database.

This summer, the STC Academic Database has undergone major changes, which will improve its usefulness to both users and institutions. The new database is set up slightly differently than the previous database, which no longer will be accessible. As a result, each institution offering a program of study in technical communication that wants to be included in the new database needs to create a new institutional record.

Each institution offering a program of study can list all degree and certificate programs under one institutional record, and users can search these listings by program, location, and/or course delivery.

Please take a look at the new database--several institutions have already entered records.

What to do: Enter an institution's record and perform the following two steps:

  1. Add the institution to the database and save the record, and
  2. Add the individual programs offered by the institution and save each record. An institution will not appear on the search page until at least one program has been added to the institution's record.

When you add a program to your institutional record, you are asked to identify program delivery: onsite and/or online. Select the online category only if the program can be completed entirely online. If your program includes both onsite and online courses, you may select the onsite category.

We hope you will take a few minutes to add your institution to the STC Academic Database. If you have any questions about the database, please contact STC Academic Liaison Committee member Sally Henschel.
