Graduate Certificate in Creative Writing

The Graduate Certificate in Creative Writing will allow students the opportunity to gain professional skills in producing original creative works suitable for professional publication. Through skill-based learning and intensive workshops, the curriculum grants students extensive experience and knowledge in drafting original literary content with a high level of craft, editing their own writing and others’ written works, in-depth revision processes, and publication strategies. Students have the option to specialize in a single genre (i.e. fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction) or follow a multi-genre approach.
