English: Concentration in Creative Writing


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Catalog Search

The concentration in Creative Writing offers students the opportunity and incentive to develop their writing in a workshop setting and to support their writing with a strong background in literary studies. The goal of the program is to foster confident undergraduate writers who work with a sound knowledge of their own literary tradition. Students in the program will receive individual assistance in understanding and extending their skills in writing poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and plays. The capstone experience gives students an opportunity to engage in a longer project in which, under the direction of a faculty mentor, they will compose, revise, and polish a substantial piece of original creative writing.
