Undergraduate Catalog 2011-2012


The minor in Creative Writing offers students the opportunity to engage deeply with their own writing and that of their peers in a graduated series of workshops led by professional writers of poetry and prose.

The minor's fifteen credit hours consist of the following:
  • Three credits at the 200-level (ENGL294 or ENGL296 or ENGL297or AASP298W/ENGL278C)
  • Three credits at the 300-level (ENGL396 or ENGL397)
  • Six credits at the 400-level (two sections of ENGL498 or of ENGL499)
  • Three credits in any upper-level English literature course.
After admission to the minor, students choose to specialize in either prose (396, 498) or poetry (397, 499). Students admitted directly to a 300-level workshop must take three workshops (9 credits) at the 400 level.
