About Creative Writing for non-English Majors

Whether you aspire to publish your creative work or wish to enhance your understanding of narrative and popular culture, this certificate is ideal for you. The program will challenge you to produce creative projects, with your writing receiving personalized feedback from faculty.

This certificate provides foundational knowledge in creative non-fiction, poetry, fiction writing, and writing for stage and screen. It is designed for students who want to:

• Enhance their written communication skills and gain confidence as writers.
• Develop the creative and technical skills to conceive, execute, and revise original work.
