Oregon Tech introduces new online certificates in writing, ethics, business, and technology with aim to enhance professional skills

Klamath Falls, Oregon – To meet the changing needs of today’s students, Oregon Institute of Technology (Oregon Tech) is launching a selection of new online professional certifications. Twelve new certificates in three main categories—writing; social, cultural, and ethical; business and technology—are being added by the university’s Online Learning campus.

Reflecting a national trend, this growth responds to a notable increase in demand for specialized online education.

Designed to be easily available and adaptable, the credentials allow one to finish each degree in just three academic years—six classes.

Among the writing-oriented certificates are UX Writing, Technical and Medical Writing, Health Communication, Proposal and Grant Writing. These courses are designed for people who want to improve their knowledge in several types of professional communication, which is essential in the knowledge-driven companies today.
