School of American and International Studies (AIS): Creative Writing
As is the case with the study of any art, the studio experience enhances the scholarly experience. In order to complement the scholarly study of Literature for students majoring in other areas, the Literature program offers a minor in Creative Writing. The minor provides students the opportunity to explore the discipline of Literature by focusing on the production of literary works with courses in poetry, fiction and creative nonfiction. By having to create literature, students are asked to embody and express the formal aesthetic and thematic concerns that are shared with the scholarly aspects of literary study. Additionally, the Creative Writing minor fosters the knowledge and talents of students who demonstrate promise as writers and allows for the opportunity for students to find promise.
A focused curricular and co-curricular experience, the Creative Writing minor is a available for students majoring in areas other than Literature. For students majoring in Literature, a concentration in Creative Writing is available. The Literature Program invites you to join our community of writers.
