Creative Writing minor


A minor in creative writing requires six three- or four-credit courses, exclusive of ENGL 101, 105, and 201. In meeting the requirements of this minor, a student may not use more than nine credits that are also used to meet the requirements of any other major or minor. The courses must include:

  1. Creative writing workshops: three courses chosen from ENGL 202 (or THTR 220), 203, 204, 205, 307, 308, and 309, with at least one at the 300-level.
  2. Literature: two literature courses in English, including one chosen from courses numbered between 230 and 294 and one chosen from ENGL 299 or English courses numbers between 311 and 386.
  3. One additional course chosen from the above or from ENGL 403 or 453. Students majoring in a discipline without an emphasis in literature are strongly encouraged to choose an elective course from the Literature category (number 2 above). English majors wishing to complete a Creative Writing minor should elect a fourth workshop, a 403 in creative writing, or a creative honors thesis in English.
  4. Participation in a capstone public reading in winter or spring of the senior year.
