Creative Writing Minor

CREW1001 In this course, students will read and discuss contemporary literature in at least three of the four major creative writing genres: fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, and drama. And, in a workshop setting, students will also write in those genres, allowing them the opportunity to discover and explore areas for future study.

CREW2016 This is a writing workshop on literary, or Creative Nonfiction-which means we use stories from real life, and craft them into literary pieces similar to a short story, using our own experiences as raw material. Memoirs and collections of personal essays are examples of this genre, and we will read examples of these as well as write our own pieces for workshop. This is a required course for all creative writing majors and minors. Non Creative Writing majors and minors are also welcomed.
