for the entertainment industry and especially students interested in pursuing graduate studies in screenwriting. Students in the certificate program study an inclusive canon of landmark screenplays from a diverse range of professional screenwriters and develop their own portfolio of writing samples, including short scripts, script coverage, treatments, and either a completed feature spec script or television pilot script. Courses in the certificate address narrative structure and foundational storytelling principles, script development, pitching, inclusive screenwriting, the history of scripting practices from an international perspective, and narratological theories of the screenplay.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.sou.edu\/preview_program.php?catoid=17&amp;poid=5233\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See Required Courses<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-82e3pi0-ffecef8eeaed8190c26c531fe5acdcb5\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-82e3pi0-ffecef8eeaed8190c26c531fe5acdcb5{\npadding-bottom:4px;\ncolor:#231f20;\nfont-size:24px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-82e3pi0-ffecef8eeaed8190c26c531fe5acdcb5 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-82e3pi0-ffecef8eeaed8190c26c531fe5acdcb5 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:24px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-82e3pi0-ffecef8eeaed8190c26c531fe5acdcb5 .special-heading-inner-border{\nborder-color:#231f20;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-82e3pi0-ffecef8eeaed8190c26c531fe5acdcb5 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:14px;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-82e3pi0-ffecef8eeaed8190c26c531fe5acdcb5 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 479px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-82e3pi0-ffecef8eeaed8190c26c531fe5acdcb5 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-82e3pi0-ffecef8eeaed8190c26c531fe5acdcb5 av-special-heading-h3 custom-color-heading blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  pop-4 av-inherit-size'><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Degree Fit<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-kqjtyb8n-1595da18227482360868307a0ece9994 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock tight-text av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h4>Program Preparation<\/h4>\n<p>The Certificate in Screenwriting &amp; Story Development is open to all degree-seeking students at SOU.
