Interested in writing poetry, plays, fiction and more? Learn the theory behind all of those genres and gain practice writing in each with the Associate of Arts Degree in Creative Writing. You may also choose to specialize further by taking advanced courses in one genre. Creative writing classes are built around a classic face-to-face workshop model that invites and encourages participation from everyone. This workshop method of teaching allows you to develop the critical-thinking skills needed for revising your own work. You'll graduate from the creative writing program with a competitive portfolio of creative writing that will assist you when applying to creative writing programs at university.
