Abstract:
According to Dr. Violet F. Boggess, court reporting, which has been taught at YSU for the past nine years, is a career that pays well and is experiencing a shortage of qualified practitioners. The court reporting program leads to an associate degree in Applied Business. This two-year degree enables graduates to sit for the state exam, which requires taking dictation at 225 words per minute and transcribing with ninety-five percent accuracy.
