Graduate Careers Online
Employers consistently rank communication skills at the top of the list of key qualities they would like college graduates to possess, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers in 2010. The ability to write clearly and correctly remains important for many jobs, not just in the writing and editing professions. Many colleges and universities offer writing courses online, either singly or as part of a graduate certificate or degree program.
Professional Writing
Professional writing courses expose students to situations typically encountered in the business world. Students learn how to write in a variety of styles and formats, including copywriting, public relations and web content. Chatham University offers an online master’s degree in professional writing, and Murray State University and Arcadia University both have an online graduate certificate program.
