Dear Colleagues:
Members of the Master of Arts in Professional Communication faculty at

October 17, 1994
We will have one or two openings at the rank of assistant professor
beginning August 1995. Fields of specialization include rhetoric and
professional communication. Clemson's English department has 60+
full-time faculty, 40 of whom are tenured or tenure-track. Faculty in
rhetoric, technical communication, and visual communication have the
opportunity to teach, direct student projects, and direct theses in
our M.A. program in Professional Communication. The MAPC program is
two years old, enrolling 12-15 new students annually. Resources
include the Document Design Lab with current technology for DTP and
multimedia, the Usability Testing Facility, and the Pearce Center for
Professional Communication, which assists the program via its
Corporate Advisory Board. Through the Pearce Center and the Campbell
Chair in Technical Communication, students and faculty participate in
communication across the curriculum workshops and projects. The
program draws on the University's resources in engineering,
agriculture, computer science, graphic communications, and
architecture. We also have a small but expanding technical writing
minor program. All faculty teach general education courses, including
first-year composition, second-year literature surveys, and third-year
advanced communication such as business or technical writing.
Since 1965 the Department of English has also offered a traditional
M.A. in English that focuses on literary study. More information
about the department and the MAPC program is available via Gopher.
Point your gopher to GOPHER.CLEMSON.EDU.
