The creative writing program combines intensive writing workshops with seminars
that study literature from a writer’s perspective. While students develop and
hone their literary technique in workshops, the creative writing seminars (which
explore literary technique as well as history) broaden their sense of possibility by
exposing them to the various ways, historically, that language has been used to
make art. As a supplement to the workshops and seminars, related courses for the
major can be drawn from departments such as English, Comparative Literature
and Society, Philosophy, History, and Anthropology, among others. Students determine,
in consultation with their faculty advisers, the related courses that best
inform their creative work.
The major in creative writing is by application only. Please see the Creative
Writing Program Web site for details.
