Centre’s 创意写作 Program empowers students to create their own impact through artful writing, and to do so with precision and passion. Drawing students from all three academic divisions, writing workshops at Centre teach techniques in fiction, 诗歌, 创造性的非小说, 电影剧本创作, 和剧本创作.
Many of our students enroll in creative writing courses because they hope to enter careers in the literary arts, 新闻, 或出版. Yet whether or not you wish to be “a writer,” a creative writing class will make you a more articulate and graceful communicator, no matter what your vocation. It will teach you creative problem-solving and the empathic critique of others’ work.
课程
Students who declare the minor in creative writing take a total of six courses, read from their work regularly at campus events, and submit a portfolio of revised work upon graduation. 每年, we offer beginning and advanced workshops in fiction and 诗歌, and regularly introduce new courses into our curriculum, often ones that actively promote cross-disciplinary studies (one recent example is 创意写作 on Nature & 环境). Although many students choose to concentrate on a specific genre (fiction, 诗歌, or creative non-fiction), we require basic proficiency in multiple genres and highly encourage students to combine and think beyond the confines of a singular genre.
