While the Creative Writing Program does not yet offer a major, minor, or official concentration in Creative Writing, there are ample opportunities for students from across the university to receive training in the craft of writing. The course is focused on introducing undergraduates to the craft of writing both literary poetry and prose and requires both reading and workshopping.
Students receive permission to register from Honors.
This course is focused on more particular aspects of craft in a specific drama. Courses are focused on either poetry, creative non-fiction, or fiction, and are available by application. Application forms are available outside of Park Hall 102 and must be submitted to the Creative Writing Program Coordinator prior to registration for the semester in which the student wishes to take the course. Generally, directed readings are reserved for those students who wish to complete coursework otherwise unavailable during a particular semester or to complete an Honors thesis. Honors Program students may also arrange with creative writing faculty for directed reading hours when undertaking an internship in the literary arts.
