Part of the program is a tiered system of Creative Writing Workshops, one at the entry level that will include both poetry and fiction, and one at the intermediate level in either poetry or fiction that the student will choose. Students also select workshop courses Children’s Literature, Young Adult Writing, Script and Playwriting, and Spoken Word Poetry in which they work one-on-one with faculty members who are professional, published writers. The Concentration requires an internship program with opportunities to work with local presses, publishing companies and creative arts organizations.
