Creative Writing

From copywriting to creating trade journals or novels, writers influence the world through words. In CBU’s creative writing program, students develop their writing technique, hone their creative style and establish a voice that is uniquely and distinctly their own. They will be part of a close-knit writing community that offers feedback, support and constructive criticism as they refine their craft, eventually working on a final writing project of publishable quality that expresses universal themes and their personal worldview. 

CBU offers a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in creative writing, as well as a minor in creative writing. English majors can also choose to take a creative writing concentration. Learn more about the creative writing options at CBU.

CBU's student literary journal is called The Dazed Starling. It's edited and published every spring by students in ENG 431: Literary Journal Editing. Find more information here.

All CBU students are welcome to take creative writing courses; you don't have to be a major/minor.
