Creative Writing Minor

Creative Writing Minor Requirements (18 hours)

The Creative Writing minor is distinct from a minor in English. It may be taken along

with any major. Students select an emphasis in either poetry or fiction. The minor requires 18 hours (in addition to ENG 111 and 112): 6 hours in designated literature courses and 12 hours in writing workshops.

• 3 hours: English 242 (requires permission of instructor)
• 6 hours: Creative Writing 302/303: Fiction Writing I and II or Creative Writing 312/313: Poetry Writing I and II
• 3 hours: Creative Writing 302 or 312 or Creative Writing 480 (3 hours in a genre outside of chosen poetry or fiction emphasis). Students selecting an emphasis in fiction (302 and 303) would have to take a poetry or special topics course as the fourth workshop. Poetry students would have to take a fiction or special topics course. This strategy was designed to bring some diversity to each student’s course of study.
• 6 hours: English 322, 337, 350, 351, 361, 362, 363, 364, 365, or 480
