English, Creative Writing Concentration, B.S./B.A.

While pursuing the Creative Writing concentration will be directly beneficial to students wishing to pursue careers as writers or teachers of writing, the study of creative writing provides skills that apply to any field, such as the mastery of language and the ability to craft a story. Students of creative writing learn to take criticism and to craft critical responses that benefit others. They learn to present bold ideas in palatable and persuasive ways. They learn the importance of originality, experimentation, and risk-taking.
