CREATIVE WRITING (3.0 credits)

A minor in Creative Writing provides a unique and valuable opportunity for students to supplement their studio-based Art and Design programs. This additional creative focus facilitates their studio practice and develops their ability to write and present their own work. The Creative Writing minor draws on faculty who are professionals in the field of Creative Writing and are actively engaged in publishing their own creative work.
