Creative Writing Minor

The Creative Writing Minor invites students majoring outside of the English major to pursue their passion for creative expression, to augment their current field of study, and to join a vibrant literary community both in the creative writing classroom and at a myriad of events. Students in the minor have opportunities to hone skills in writing pedagogy and editing & publishing. They might find themselves reading their work at open mics or receiving mentorship from esteemed visiting authors as they dive into this highly personalized field of study at MCLA.
