About the Creative Writing Program

The Creative Writing Program at ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ is built on diversity. With a workshop-based curriculum where students share their writing, the concentration offers an opportunity to grow with a cohort of peer authors who know each other’s work intimately. Students expand their horizons as they engage in a varied curriculum with a supportive community. No matter what their interest, students can enjoy a well-balanced program with areas including contemporary fiction, nonfiction and poetry taught by writers who represent a wide range of formal styles, genres and world views.

With many resources and facilities to foster growth in the arts, students of the Creative Writing Program become part of a creative community that extends beyond the classroom. Our students have opportunities to meet published creative writers and well-known critics through ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½’s Writers on the Shore public reading series. Students can gain editorial and publishing experience through work on the University’s Scarab literary magazine. ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ is also home to , the longest standing international journal devoted to the study of adaptation.
