Overview

Prospective Creative Writing majors at Coe College should plan on taking a creative writing course each semester; within that guideline, there is a good deal of flexibility in how to complete the major.

Key facts:

Courses should be chosen in consultation with a faculty advisor in the English Department. Creative writing majors take workshops in at least two of the three genres we teach (poetry, fiction and playwriting), eventually concentrating on one genre for the Manuscript Workshop. If you wish to develop skills in writing nonfiction prose — journalism, personal essays, etc. — consider the writing major offered by the Rhetoric Department.

A collateral major in Creative Writing requires concurrent completion of another major. When completing a creative writing major or minor, you may not select either the major or minor in writing offered by the Rhetoric Department. If majoring in both English and creative writing, you cannot count more than two ENG-courses toward the creative writing major.
