Degree Awarded: Certificate

Nonfiction Writing and Publishing (Certificate)

The graduate certificate program in nonfiction writing and publishing teaches students the art of telling true stories. The program is based on the belief that the work done within the university is most impactful when it can be shared in a clear and compelling way with audiences beyond one's chosen fields of research. In this interdisciplinary program, students read, study and write narrative nonfiction, including literary journalism, op-ed, explanatory essay and memoir. Students learn how to analyze the craft and stylistic decisions of professional and literary nonfiction writers and utilize these skills in their own work. Award-winning faculty teach scholars and students to produce vivid writing that connects with a larger public; they also teach the most effective ways to get their writing out into the world, be it through blogs, online or print publications, trade books, or film and television. This program is open to all graduate students who want to write eloquently, persuasively and memorably about their research or life experiences.
