About this course

Understanding Advanced Technical Writing for your Nexford credit.

What is Advanced Technical Writing?

Advanced Technical Writing is the study of how to explain information clearly in professional settings. It focuses on writing that helps people do something, understand a process, or make a decision, such as emails, memos, instructions, reports, proposals, resumes, and cover letters. The course also covers how to write for different audiences and how to handle ethical and legal issues in communication.

How the course teaches you

Advanced Technical Writing is a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grading breakdown is 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% final exam, and once you complete the course, the transcript can be sent for Nexford University’s transfer review. Nexford recognizes it as Communications Elective (Gen Ed), so it can count toward a general-education requirement in a Nexford degree plan.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The skills from this course help with the kinds of communication people use in Nexford programs such as the Associate of Applied Science and Bachelor of Business Administration. Clear emails, instructions, reports, and proposals are useful in work settings and also when you need to organize information for school or a job search. At Nexford, the credit lands as a Communications Elective (Gen Ed), which can support progress through the general-education part of the degree.

Taking this course toward Nexford

After you finish the course, your transcript is sent for Nexford University’s transfer evaluation. Nexford’s registrar applies the credit as Communications Elective (Gen Ed), which means it satisfies a general-education requirement rather than a major course. That recognition can help you move through a program plan more efficiently in degrees such as the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration. Nexford accepts up to 90 transfer credits, which is up to 75% of an undergraduate program, and it also offers a free, no-obligation transfer credit evaluation.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students who want to bring a completed transcript to Nexford and use it toward the 75% transfer limit. It can work well for people finishing a degree, changing fields, or trying to reduce the number of credits they still need in an Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration. It is not the best choice for someone who needs a major-specific course at Nexford rather than a Communications Elective (Gen Ed).
