Certificate Programs

The UCLA Extension Writers' Program offers certificate programs for those students who prefer a structured course of study. Writers' Program certificate programs are designed to provide perspective, knowledge, and training in several dynamic writing fields. The breadth and depth of the coordinated, sequential offerings allow participants to define and pursue career goals, select courses keyed to their interests, discover or develop their potential for professional growth, and acquire necessary skills.

A grade of "C"or better must be earned in all courses in order to fulfill requirements. Courses may be taken either on-site or online. The benefits of a certificate from the Writers' Program include advance notice of upcoming courses, free one-on-one script or manuscript consultations, discounted fees, and a gold-seal certificate upon completion of all requirements.

The following certificates are available from the UCLA Extension Writers' Program:
