Courses in creative writing within the Arts Program are designed for students who wish to develop their skills and appreciation of creative writing in a variety of genres (poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, playwriting, screenwriting) and for those intending to pursue studies in creative writing at the graduate level.
Any English major may include one Creative
Writing course in the major plan. Non-English majors may pursue a minor as
described under Degree Options. While there is no existing major in Creative Writing, exceptionally
well qualified students have completed majors in Creative Writing through
the Independent Major Program.
