- What other types of credit are accepted?
- You may be able to apply up to 6 hours of credit by proficiency for past professional experience at the discretion of the instructor.
- Do I have to have an undergraduate degree in English?
- No. If you hold an undergraduate degree in any subject matter, you may apply to the program.
- Can I attend full-time?
- You can attend full time if your schedule allows. Courses are offered in the evenings and on Saturdays. Because writing is a developmental skill and time-consuming, we suggest that students who work full time take one writing-intensive course per quarter. Written Communication courses are offered throughout the year, including the summer.
