Writing B.F.A.

Bachelor of Fine Arts in Writing

The Writing Program’s goal is the creation of well-rounded writers, writers able to produce ad copy as well as fiction, book reviews as well as poetry, Web content as well as screenplays, HTML as well as book and film reviews. At the heart of the curriculum are the Writing Studios, through which students progress from word choice, grammar, and clarity of expression to more advanced narrative and poetic forms and specialized genres, culminating in the creation of a book-length work of prose, poetry, or experimental form. The practice of writing is undergirded by studies in literature, cultural studies, science, and history.
