The program is especially targeted to those who are already working and wish to strengthen their technical and professional writing skills, learn about new media and how it affects communication and excel in writing across disciplines.

This certificate program will prepare students in the technical aspects of writing for scientific and medical writing as well as the professional aspects of proposals and grant writing. Students will also explore writing in digital environments 

Where You'll Go

The Technical and Professional Writing Certificate is ideal for those who are looking to advance in their current position, learn new skills, or change careers. It leads to a Certificate awarded by the Graduate School and a designation on the official transcript.
