The Creative Writing guides students in developing their writing craft, examining the literary and cultural contexts of their works, and expanding their readers’ understanding of what it means to live. Through course offerings and co-curricular opportunities, students carefully study contemporary modes and theories, gain professional experience in publishing, and creating their own original literary works.
