The Graduate Certificate in Science Writing program shares the same mission as the MA in Science Writing program. Certificate students complete five courses: a mix of electives and core courses that develop the reporting and writing skills for communicating science broadly. The program recognizes that contemporary science writing involves journalism, communication, multimedia, and the literary arts. The typical student hones journalistic and creative writing techniques to craft clear, enticing prose for digital or print venues, from magazines and books to social media and websites, for news outlets, companies, research agencies, and universities. Along the way, students acquire communication skills to promote viewpoints and develop expertise to thrive in the digital universe. The program's writers and editors are also challenged to monitor science itself, to disclose how research can falter or be misused. Certificate students may complete all courses online, but have the option of enrolling in one of the Science Writing program’s onsite residency courses. Please note that this entry is for currently enrolled students only. The Certificate in Science Writing program is not currently accepting new students.
