Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Creative Writing

The Creative Writing major is intended for students who wish to combine the study of creative writing with the study of literature. Students will gain training in the art of writing within the context of aesthetics, the literary tradition, and a broad liberal arts education. The major offers students a rigorous “apprenticeship” in creative writing, developing students’ understanding of literary forms and tropes, and providing the appropriate background in literary and intellectual history.

The Creative Writing major will provide an excellent foundation from which students can continue to grow as writers. Because the combination of writing and literature will deal with everything from form and structure to editing to rewriting to critical thinking, Creative Writing graduates will be well suited for careers in all fields of writing, publishing, editing, advertising, technical writing, public relations, as well as graduate study.
