Introduction
The Creative Writing Certificate is a non-degree, graduate certificate program composed of 18 credit hours of specialized courses designed to explore, in an intensive workshop environment, the theoretical and practical concerns of creative writers today. The Creative Writing Certificate is appropriate for candidates with experience in creative writing at the undergraduate level or extensive professional or independent experience as creative writers.
Credits earned toward the Creative Writing Certificate may apply to or be transferred into the Master of Arts in English (MAE) at the graduate program director’s discretion. If certificate coursework is applied to the MAE program, this certificate coursework can be no more than six years old at the time of graduation from the MAE program. Candidates must complete all coursework for the certificate program within six years, including any transfer work.
Candidates should refer to the graduate catalog in effect when they are accepted to this or another NKU certificate program to determine the extent to which credit hours may be applied to more than one NKU certificate or degree program. Candidates whose transcripts do not show substantial undergraduate preparation in creative writing may be asked to submit a writing sample.
