The Creative Writing Program is a rigorous bachelor's program built on a master of fine arts model. Students choose two tracks to study - the writing of poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction or dramatic writing (screen or play) - and take at least seven workshop courses in their chosen areas, where they give and receive critique on their original work.
Ample requirements in literature and other specialized writing courses provide a foundation in historical context and critical thinking. Seniors take two courses to round out their creative writing degree: The Writer and the Universe, an interdisciplinary special topics course that examines the role of the writer within a liberal arts framework; and Senior Reading, where students put together a portfolio of original work as well as organize and present a public reading. |
