A concentration in creative writing enhances your writing skills, whether working on a popular blog or a published poem. Many students participate in writing workshops across genres such as fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction. Our professors, experienced poets, novelists, and prose writers, provide both artistic mentorship and knowledge of the publishing industry. Creative writing students have gone on to become creative directors at magazines, marketing directors at corporations, college professors, editors, and, of course, published writers.
