CREATIVE WRITING MINOR
The English program coordinates a minor in creative
writing, designed for students who are considering
pursuing an MFA in creative writing upon graduation.
Since, at the graduate level, the MFA degree specializes
in either poetry, playwriting, creative non-fiction, or
fiction, students minoring in Creative Writing will be
required to focus their studies on one genre (Poetry,
Fiction, or Playwriting) after completing a series of
introductory courses, while at the same time enrolling
in elective courses related to their personal writing
goals. The minor is primarily geared toward non-
English majors who are considering a career in
creative writing or a graduate degree (MA or MFA) in
their chosen genre.
Program Goals
• Students will learn a working vocabulary for critical
analysis of creative works.
• Students will produce a cumulative portfolio of
work that is competitive at a publishable level.
