BA Creating Writing

Chatham University offers students the opportunity to complete a rigorous program of study in the English Department which leads to a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Creative Writing. The BFA develops and hones skills in creative writing by engaging students with the craft of writing through a focused sequence of five creative writing courses, culminating in a creative tutorial. A firm grounding in literary forms and history, along with genre theory, literary theory, and upper-level literature study enhances students' development as writers. Highly qualified students may also be admitted to the 5-year BFA/MFA in Creative Writing or to the BFA/Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program.
