English: Creative Writing

Pen your future.

Many English majors have their sights on a future as a writer or teacher. But the degree opens doors to many other types of professions, too. In this program, you will gain a broad liberal arts education and build critical thinking and writing skills that are highly valued in careers in writing, publishing, communications, education, politics and law — to name a few.

As an English major, you will undergo intensive writing training and develop your professional communication skills. You will examine a variety of literary genres and form a solid understanding of how English language and literature shape and reflect cultures around the world. When specializing in creative writing, you will choose a sequence of writing courses in fiction, creative nonfiction or poetry.
