What is the TPW Program?
SFSU is the only college or university in California that offers a Bachelor’s degree in technical and professional writing. In addition to the major (available since 1991), there is also a minor and a certificate option (for those who have already completed a bachelor’s degree or significant undergraduate course work). TPW, which started as “Career and Technical Writing” in 1983, is an independent interdisciplinary program within the College of Humanities. See the program description for more details on degrees and course offerings. See the SFSU home page for more information about the university.
