Some students pursue the graduate certificate by itself.
Others pursue the certificate in conjunction with a masters in English or another subject. If you are admitted to the masters program in English when you begin the certificate, you may apply the certificate courses toward the masters. Because the program is designed for working adults, PWE courses are conducted in the evenings or on Saturdays. Normally, courses are offered every semester and in the summer. Applicants who have not taken undergraduate courses in Professional Writing and Editing may be required to take prerequisite courses.
