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.
