Why TCLoc?

TCLoc, a distance-learning master’s degree,  was created after much reflection and research on existing degrees related to the fields of technical communication and localization. The goal of Program Director Dr. Renate de la Paix was, and is, to provide an academic degree that bridges the gap between education and industry and is accessible to students around the world. She has achieved that goal with TCLoc, an affordable online master’s degree that combines all of the prerequisites of the localization and technical communication sectors.
