Writing for Government and Non-Profits (PDEV 79408) 

Are you in a humanistic discipline and thinking about career pathways in the non-profit and government sectors? This non-credit, online course introduces students to career opportunities in writing for non-profit organizations and governments and explains how to leverage the knowledge and skills gained in a graduate program in order to obtain and succeed in these roles.
