This is an 18-credit program of study designed for postgraduate students or community members seeking advanced coursework to better conceptualize and effectively compose diverse genres of writing, with particular attention to professional writing—business and technical communication, digital communication, grant writing, writing for publication in various venues, including portfolio preparation—and creative writing, or producing poetry, memoirs, various kinds of fiction, drama and screenplays. In addition, committed to the professionalization of writing pedagogy, this graduate certificate will offer advanced coursework in the teaching of writing. The Graduate Certificate in Writing can be completed as a stand-alone program for any interested student with a bachelor’s degree from an accredited four-year college or university. The degree need not be in English. This certificate program can also provide a specialization for Millersville University graduate students seeking an M.A. or M.Ed. in English; its requirements complement the demands of both degrees.
