Any chance Advanced Feature Writing will ever be offered via correspondence?
I'm interested in exploring the certificate program. A number of volunteer years as an editor and contributer to Wayves magazine has instilled a more than passing interest in the industry. Since I'm not interested in pursuing a journalism degree at my 40-something age this certificate program may be just what I need to crack the world of magazine publishing.
