Creative Writing - Eastern Michigan University

Creative Writing from Eastern Michigan University is a Campus Bachelor Writing degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The Creative Writing Program offers students experience in interdisciplinary and innovative approaches to writing. The curriculum emphasizes both creative process and critical reading practices, preparing writers to participate in contemporary writing culture and for a range of language and media-centered careers. The Creative Writing Major (30 hours) emphasize experimentation and interdisciplinarity through exploration of poetry, fiction, hybrid genre and multimedia literature. The current curriculum includes a comprehensive approach to creative writing that incorporates both experience with critical reading and thinking and experience with multimedia, multigenre writing practices. We offer a sequence of three workshops that introduces students to a wide variety of writing styles, methods, and forms as well as enables them to focus on a selected area of interest. By reading and critiquing their peers' works, students will deeply engage in a culture of peer collaboration and review. By reading literary models and theoretical contexts, students will sharpen their ability to read in a variety of styles, genres, and contemporary trends as they are trained to attend to the linguistic textures and structures of texts. Through classroom visits, specialized workshops, and a formal reading series, students will enter into dialogue with local and national authors. Students completing this program will have both interacted with professionals in their field and witnessed several versions of a professional literary convention, the reading.
