Creative Writing Minor
The minor in Creative Writing requires the completion of 20 credit hours, at least 10 hours to be chosen from a set of upper-division classes (400, 500, and 600 level). A maximum of 10 transfer credit house is allowed. This progression of courses will allow students an in-depth study of the craft of Creative Writing, giving them the skills they need to create original fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction, while also enhancing their critical reading skills.Once the coordinating advisor in the Department of English has approved the Minor Program form, you should file the form with your college or school counselor.

Important Guidelines: Creative Writing hours may overlap the GEC. The same courses cannot count on the minor and on the major. The Creative Writing Program is governed by the Department of English and therefore the English major course work cannot overlap with Creative Writing minor course work. A minimum grade of C- is required for a course to be listed on the minor. A minimum 2.0 cumulative point-hour ration is required for the minor. Course work graded Pass/Non-Pass cannot count on the minor.
