Bachelor of Arts - Creative Writing & English

Program Description

This undergraduate creative writing major prepares students for a career in creative writing, publishing, journalism, communications, the law and many other professions, as well as graduate programs such as the University’s low-residency Master of Fine Arts in Fiction and Nonfiction Writing.

Creative writing courses begin during freshman year, unlike many other undergraduate writing programs. Undergraduate students can choose between a traditional four-year program and an accelerated three-year plan. Three-year plan graduates who enroll in the Master of Fine Arts program can earn their bachelor's and master's degrees in five years.
