Creative Writing Minor

Requirements of the Minor

The Creative Writing Minor, offered through the Liberal Arts Division, invites dedicated students to develop their writing skills across the several genres: poetry, fiction, playwriting and/or film writing.  Students may apply to enter the minor after successfully completing a workshop in any one of the three genres.  A limited number of students, approximately five per year, will be admitted by the Creative Writing Faculty.  To fulfill the minor, students must take all three introductory workshops and any two of the advanced workshops.

Students may withdraw from the minor - or be asked to withdraw - at any time without penalty.  Completed courses will then be counted as Liberal Arts electives, free electives, or, in some cases, major requirements or electives.

Two of the five courses required for the minor may concurrently serve as Liberal Arts electives.
