The Certificate in Creative Writing will give you the opportunity to gain experience in writing original works of fiction, poetry, and/or creative nonfiction through generating, workshopping, revising, and editing your writing, while learning to link critical reading skills with compositional skills—i.e., to “read like a writer.” Through this program, you will acquire the core skills necessary to pursue a career as a publishing writer, as well as apply for jobs currently in high demand in content writing and editing. This program aims to inspire not only English majors and minors but also students from other departments to enhance their creative writing abilities and consider pathways to publication and professional opportunities.
