Creative Writing Minor for non-English majors

The Creative Writing minor, which combines the study of literature and the practice of creative writing provides students with a strong foundation for developing their craft. Students begin with an introductory 2 credit class that emphasized creative play and then they take at least 10 other credits of writing classes in the English discipline, at least four of which must be at the advanced level. Writing courses focus on fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction, and on subtopics such as sports, environmental, and essay writing. Students also take two literature classes: ENGL 1509 (required) and another of the student's choice.
