*Academic credit is defined by the University of Pennsylvania as a course unit (c.u.). A course unit (c.u.) is a general measure of academic work over a period of time, typically a term (semester or summer). A c.u. (or a fraction of a c.u.) represents different types of academic work across different types of academic programs and is the basic unit of progress toward a degree. One c.u. is usually converted to a four-semester-hour course.

Online Advanced Certificate in Creative Writing

APPLY HERE (and see application directions at the bottom of this page)
The Online Advanced Certificate in Creative Writing welcomes aspiring part-time writers who seek guidance that is friendly, rigorous, professionally useful, and intellectually challenging, with the flexibility of remote community. Complementing the strength of the existing Master of Fine Arts (MFA) Program in Creative Writing and Literature at The Lichtenstein Center, the Fall 2024 cohort of the Certificate emphasizes creative work in fiction with a focus upon the short story. The Online Advanced Certificate is a sixteen credit-hour concentration available upon successful application to degree-seeking students who have been admitted to any Stony Brook University graduate program, as well as to non-degree seeking students who meet the requirements outlined by the Graduate School. It is designed for working adults who have completed a BA and who are interested in master’s level instruction.
Our Goals Like The Lichtenstein Center MFA Program, the Online Advanced Certificate recognizes that there are many reasons to study writing—from self-satisfaction to dissemination of information. Our goal is to identify what each student needs in terms of writing instruction while helping students build a writing practice, establish revision practices, and getting written work out in the world in the form of short story submissions. Courses are taught by a full-time and part-time faculty of award-winning writers, all of whom have been widely published and who have received numerous accolades in their writing careers.
Admissions Students who are eligible to apply include those enrolled in a graduate degree-granting program at Stony Brook University and students who have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university who meet the admissions criteria.
For applicants already admitted to the University, admission involves completing a “Permission to Enroll in a Secondary Certificate” form. Students also need to submit a statement of purpose and a writing sample (details below). Students are required to have an earned bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) with a cumulative grade point average of 2.75 on a 4-point scale. The following must be submitted as part of the application to the Online Advanced Creative Writing Certificate:
- A 1-2 page statement discussing the student’s reasons for graduate study (double-spaced, 12-point font, 1-inch margins)
- A writing sample consisting of 12-15 pages of fictional prose (double-spaced, 12-point font, 1-inch margins)
Non-Matriculated and Transfer Status Non-matriculated students and students transferring from other Stony Brook Graduate degree programs may petition to transfer a limited number of credits to the Advanced Certificate. More information on transfer policies is available at https://www.stonybrook.edu/sb/graduatebulletin/current/admissions/transfer-credit/index.php
Timeline All Advanced Certificate requirements must be completed within three (3) years from the semester date of admission as a matriculated student. If the certificate program is taken in collaboration with a graduate degree program, then the student has five years for completion of the certificate.
BACK TO TOP
Advising Students in the Advanced Certificate program are advised on course selection by the Associate Director, and a dedicated online work site will be established to foster community in and across Online Certificate cohorts.
Resources and Suppoer Programs The Online Advanced Certificate in Creative Writing is housed in the Creative Writing and Literature program of The Lichtenstein Center. Certificate students will be able to access the same support services as part-time matriculated MFA students. Resources may include a limited number of partially subsidized one-time admission awards.
Faculty Online courses are taught by full-time core faculty, joined by a part-time faculty of distinguished visiting writers whose teaching and lecturing assignments will rotate among the fall and spring sessions. These distinguished visitors will provide creative breadth to the writing program, offering coverage in areas of writing that are essential in contemporary society, in particular fiction and the short story. For the inaugural cohort in Fall 2024, CWL500 will be taught by Jennifer Solheim , Associate Director of both the Online Advanced Certificate in Creative Writing and the BookEnds novel revision fellowship and part-time faculty in the MFA in Creative Writing and Literature.
Curriculum The Advanced Certificate is a sixteen credit hour concentration available upon successful application to degree-seeking students who have been admitted to any Stony Brook University graduate program as well as non-degree seeking students who meet all the requirements outlined by the Graduate School. The inaugural cohort of the Online Advanced Certificate will emphasize creative work in fiction, with an emphasis on the short story. Following are the specific requirements and course descriptions.

Program Overview
Creative Writing
Creative Writing Certificate Program
Writers who are serious about their craft can create a custom course of study to prepare for graduate programs in creative writing. In this post-baccalaureate certificate program, students hone their craft, formalize their training and build a solid portfolio of work for application to MFA and MA/ PhD programs in writing. Courses are conducted as writing workshops to allow for valuable feedback from a community of fellow writers. As students analyze and write creative work and learn about the publishing world, their creative development is guided by instructors who are respected writers themselves. Students can explore a variety of writing areas, or they may specialize their course of study based on experience and discipline — fiction, creative nonfiction or poetry. Classes meet on campus in Chicago or Evanston.

We're sorry but you will need to enable Javascript to access all of the features of this site. Stanford OnlineThe creative habit: cultivate a daily writing practice. CSP-XCW19WA Stanford Continuing Studies Creativity comes naturally to us from childhood, but “real life” often gets in the way, with critical voices and practical concerns suppressing the impulse to put our ideas on paper and make art. Even if you can barely remember the last time you wrote anything beyond an email, a text, or a grocery list, the seeds of creativity are still deep inside you and need only a little coaxing to flourish again. Writing just a little every day takes away the anxiety of the blank page and makes you more observant, more in touch with your creativity, and as a result, happier and more fulfilled. Every weekday, for five weeks, you will receive a prompt, from which you should freewrite for 30 to 60 minutes (or whatever you can spare). Weekends will be off, with optional short prompts for those wishing to sustain momentum. The daily prompts will encourage you to try creative nonfiction, fiction, and simple poetic forms. You may always approach a prompt from a different genre or angle. This course is for those who want to write without inhibition and have fun without an evaluative component. You may submit one 500-word piece each week for gentle instructor feedback, if you wish, and you may post your writing in a thread to give and receive peer feedback. We will forge a creative community and find the quality of heightened awareness that comes from using creative writing as a way of being more present in the world.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)<< Previous page Pages: 379-406 In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin.
