In less than half the time it takes to earn a degree you can acquire the specialized knowledge you need to expand your career options or improve your chance of promotion. Completion of a certificate program provides tangible evidence that you have followed the curriculum established by the faculty and have achieved the level of understand and application necessary for professional recognition. Each credit-bearing certificate program is organized by a faculty committee of representatives. The College Center for Academic Support administers the programs. These sequence courses can be completed in 32 hours of instructional time and provide a consistent set of writing guidelines for today's professional.
All classes are interactive and deal with practical writing situations found in the workplace.
The sequences are challenging, and each offers tangible results upon completion. In addition, we offer one stand-alone course, Creating Exceptional Newsletters, for students with that particular interest. This is not a certificate program, but falls under the umbrella of the Writing for Personal and Professional Enrichment series. It is expected that part-time graduate students will follow reasonably continuous programs of study. During semesters in which no courses are taken, the student will register for continuation of enrollment, for which a fee is charged.
