Does this student really want an MA in technical writing? Or does he really want a job as a technical writer? If he really wants a job as a technical writer then I would suggest that he take one of the intense courses offered in the community collegs--or he might check out the Print Futures program that Diana Wegner is involved in--out in BC. AT Waterloo, we offer a MA in Language and Professional Writing. Our graduate students do get some technical writing experience via Co-op , but most already have extensive technical writing experience because of our undergraduate program (and because Co-op also exists at the undergrad level).
