Creative Writing Minor
1. ENG 110, or 105 and 105P, or equivalent is the prerequisite for all Creative Writing courses.
2. Creative Writing Minors are required to specialize in a specific genre—poetry, fiction or nonfiction—and take the three course sequence in that genre for a total of 9 credits. The additional required 9 credits for the minor may be met with electives under the Writing Minors.
3. No repetition of courses is allowed, with the exception of ENG 378: Creative Writing: Special Topics.
4. We strongly encourage students to start their genre sequence in their second year so they can properly space the distribution of the required courses in the sequence.
5. As a way of introducing themselves to Creative Writing from a broader perspective and exploring various genres in which they might wish to write, students are encouraged to take ENG 265 Introduction to Creative Writing: A Survey of Forms to fulfill 3 credits of the 6-credit Skill Area I requirement in General Education.
