It's not a certificate, but it may give you some sense of what we're doing at the sub-major level. Covering the courses isn't too much of an issue, since we offer them all anyway for our majors and as graduation writing requirements for STEM majors.</div>

<p style="margin:0in; font-family:Calibri; font-size:11pt">My department is considering a Certificate in Professional Writing and I was tasked to gather some information about the viability of such certificate. Our department offers a traditional<span>
</span>English major (literature focused) and a number of minors. We currently have a Writing and Editing minor that requires the completion of 12 credits.The department is also looking into adding a PW track to the major, so starting with the certificate may
be a first step towards the major track.<br>

<p style="margin:0in; font-family:Calibri; font-size:11pt"> </p>
<p style="margin:0in; font-family:Calibri; font-size:11pt">So here's a few questions to those of you who may have a similar program at their institutions. If you had such a program in the past and it either evolved into a major or was discontinued, I'd like
to hear your input as well. </p>
