Court Reporting
Course Outline/Description
DEGREE PROGRAM
Nine 15-week terms (DAY)
Twelve 15-week terms (EVENING)
OBJECTIVE
Students will develop computer-compatible, conflict-free realtime machine shorthand skills of up to 225
words per minute and learn to transcribe and edit their own shorthand notes using computer-assisted
transcription equipment.
Students will become familiar with medical and legal terminology and court reporting procedures and
refine their knowledge of written English as needed for the production of salable transcripts.
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Graduates are employable as entry-level reporters and conference reporters. With a minimum of
additional training, the court reporter’s skills can be used in emerging realtime closed-captioning
positions.
Currently, the court reporting field used computerized steno machines and computers, which graduates
will need to purchase before entering the field. The cost will vary depending on the system chosen.
