English - Writing Concentration, B.A.

The Writing Concentration invites students to explore a variety of forms for telling stories, for witnessing and describing the contemporary world, and for stretching the limits of language, perception and imagination. Writing courses are intimate, egalitarian and open spaces where students may experiment with expression and technique, and where they may use the study of literature to further their creative practices.
