Creative Writing Minor

A minor in Creative Writing consists of 15 credit hours and serves as an integrated part of the traditional English major, or as a stand-alone concentration with any other field of study. The minor in Creative Writing offers students a sustained basis for cultivating their writing as an art form. Through a balanced mix of workshops and seminars, students in the minor will explore the theory and practice of creative writing in order to foster imagination in all their written efforts. Creative writing students often have the chance to participate as contributors and editors of UM’s creative arts journal, The Tower, and to attend readings and discussions from local and nationally-known writers.
