If you are a full time, degree-seeking student, you can earn the Certificate in Writing on campus or online at no additional cost—it is already included in your tuition.
Online, Non-degree-seeking Students
If you are not pursuing a degree but want to earn the Certificate in Writing online, you’ll pay our resident tuition rate plus the technology fee. For fall 2022, a three semester-hour course would be $1,226.75 including the technology fee. Tuition and fees are the same for both resident or non-resident students.
On-Campus, Non-degree-seeking Students
If you are a non-degree-seeking student pursuing the Certificate in Writing on campus, fall 2022 tuition for a three semester-hour course is the same for resident or non-resident, $1,499.50. If you are taking more than four semester-hours, your tuition will vary depending based on your designation as resident or non-resident and the number semester hours you enroll.
