Humanities - Creative Writing
The Creative Writing program introduces students to the whole process of writing. We provide a wide range of courses – from creative endeavors to genre-specific writing courses such as poetry writing, creative non-fiction and fiction writing. The goal of each upper-level writing course is to produce “publishable” works.
"Humanities is the core of educational life. We need English to speak and write effectively, and the more we are aware of its proprieties, the better we can use it, the better we can communicate." Dr. Judith Fabisch, professor of English
