- Description
- The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Creative Writing program provides students the opportunity to pursue the study and practice of poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction in a comprehensive fashion. Building on the foundations of English and world literature, students explore the critical traditions that shape literary history and study how to analyze the written criticism of contemporary writers in order to discuss their most favored methods. Students in the creative writing program investigate their own writing in a self-reflective manner while focusing on the importance of redrafting. Through these processes, students evaluate the poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction of their classmates and articulate that appraisal through the workshop model. This program emphasizes both the art and craft of writing, encouraging students to refine their creative voice while building a solid foundation in the theory, history, and criticism of literature.
