Bachelors in Creative Writing

Undergraduate majors in English are required to take 10 courses (for a total of 40 units) for a B.A. in English or for a B.A. in English with an emphasis in Creative Writing. All students take three lower-division courses that encourage discussion about the broad sweep of what has been and what will be. These courses can be as different as the professors who teach them. The seven upper-division courses will reflect which of the department s two tracks are chosen. The Creative Writing track features workshops in writing poetry and fiction, courses in literature, and courses in contemporary writers. Majors must take one course before 1900, another after 1900, and at least three workshops in poetry and fiction, with two electives.
