You've written the first draft of your book. Maybe even the second or third. The graduate certificate program in book development shows you how to take it to the next step, pairing writers with an editor from a major publishing house.

Customized schedule
Certificates have mostly 8-week courses that are offered throughout the year, allowing you to complete coursework on your own time schedule. Depending on the program, some certificates can be completed as fast as 9 months.
Flexible programs
Choose the modality for your coursework: virtual, face-to-face or hybrid. Our small class sizes will allow you to develop relationships with peers and professors regardless of modality.
Defined costs upfront
Certificate programs with 15-20 credits may be financial aid eligible.
We’ve designed this program to work at your pace. With certificates you can earn now and a master’s degree you can earn later, the only decision you have is when to enroll.
