Creative Writing, Minor - Course Requirements

Course Requirements

The minor in Creative Writing is focused on the three major genres of nonfiction, poetry, and fiction. However, hybridization and fluidity are encouraged for students to explore their creative potential. The School of Arts and Sciences has the student newspaper Tri-Lite and the literary journal Folio for students to gain hands-on writing and publishing experience. Only six transfer credits or two courses will be accepted toward the minor. A minimum grade of “C” is required for each course in the minor.
