Support your visual storytelling with the written word

The minor is open to students from all majors. You can join during your sophomore year after meeting with your advisor.

What will I write? You decide! The creative writing classes you take will help you explore many forms. Expect to try new styles and to develop narrative skills and confidence in your voice!

Will it fit my schedule? It's designed to work with other requirements and let you explore your interests. It requires three classes in writing as well as the Creative Writing Senior Seminar.
