The interdisciplinary minor in creative writing is designed to give
students an opportunity to develop their writing talents across a number
of literary forms and communication contexts. By developing course
selections in poetry, fiction and non-fiction matched with those in
stage and screenplay writing, students may tailor the program to suit a
variety of artistic goals and professional objectives. The choice of at
least one course from a group involving literary analysis and media
criticism ensures perspective on current issues affecting readers and
viewers, writers and their creative works.
The minimum requirement for a minor in creative writing is 18 hours.
Two courses may be double-counted between the minor and the major.
Students electing this minor may acquire more information from the
creative writing adviser of the Department of English, the School of
Media Arts and Design, or the School of Theatre and Dance.
