The Texas Tech TCR program is very strong in technology, production, rhetorical theory, rhetorical analysis, rhetoric of science, visual rhetoric, gender studies, and research methods-strengths intersecting with studies in composition, technical communication, and rhetoric. Our faculty are leaders in the profession and in scholarship, active in organizations such as CPTSC, STC, ACM, and IEEE. Just like the Lubbock program, the online Doctor of Philosophy can be tailored to fit one's interests. The program provides a broad approach to technical communication, offering classes in areas such as editing, design, rhetorical theory, online documentation, publications management, and usability testing. Students will learn and practice the methodologies for conducting research in technical communication and rhetoric, as well as gain experience creating online and on-page documents using visual and written communication. Classes meet online weekly in a synchronous meeting space. Between class meetings, students will communicate with faculty and other students through e-mail, asynchronous discussion spaces, and video and audio chat. Courses are conducted in three regular academic terms (fall, spring, and summer). In addition, we hold an intensive two-week summer seminar on-site, where students can meet fellow students, network, and concentrate on research projects. Future academics and professionals in fields like technical communication, human resources, consulting, software design, graphic design, engineering, and management will find the online TCR Doctor of Philosophy invaluable in advancing their careers.     Accreditation Information: Texas Tech University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.  # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition: 0  Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time: 2875  # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 1568  Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $460  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $8280  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black: No   Religious Affiliation: Not applicable
