English Creative Writing - Mississippi University for Women

English Creative Writing from Mississippi University for Women is a Campus Bachelor Writing degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Creative Writing at MUW has grown to encompass three levels of classes and has become an official concentration for an English Major. Since 2003, we have also been members of the Association of Writers and Writing Programs, a national organization for creative writing . This page is designed to introduce you to our program and help you navigate through it. While the final word on curriculum requirements will always be your catalog of record (the Bulletin you entered with or one you\\\'ve chosen since then), this page is meant to summarize those requirements in more everyday language. The Concentration In order to earn a concentration in Creative Writing, you must declare an English major. A significant part of the creative writing program at MUW involves the study of literature. In order to be a writer, you need to read and be well versed in interpretation of literature and in the literary canon. Therefore, you must take the same number of literature courses as any other English major. Creative writing students also take three advanced writing courses (see below). One advanced writing course must be EN 312 Creative Writing , and one advanced writing course must be at the 400-level (EN 411 or 412). You may also count the scriptwriting course offered through the theater department as one of your advanced writing courses. (Please note: this additional writing requirement does have the effect of adding three credit hours to your degree .) View more details on Mississippi University for Women .
