The Graduate Certificate in Professional Writing prepares students to be effective workplace writers. Students learn to compose in professional and technical genres for a range of audiences (both print and online). Coursework introduces students to document design, editing, and workplace writing processes and procedures. This 12-hour graduate certificate program prepares students for positions as professional or technical writers and provides the opportunity for professionals in business, government, technical, and other positions to greatly enhance their writing, editing, and document design abilities. The program is designed to be an additional credential or enhancement, not a substitute for a graduate degree. Students completing the four-course program will earn a graduate certificate that will appear on their permanent transcript.
