Creative Writing at Carolina: Curriculum

The Creative Writing Program offers four different levels of workshops -- introductory, intermediate, advanced, and senior honors -- which can lead to graduation with Honors in Creative Writing and/or a minor in creative writing. The courses are:

The student chooses either the fiction or poetry sequence. Though 23W and 25W, the introductory classes, are open to any student at the University, advancement to successive courses in the sequence is by recommendation of the student's previous instructor(s). If possible, the student is assigned to a different instructor for each course. Students are not required to be English majors or Creative Writing minors to enroll in these courses.

To receive a minor in Creative Writing, a student must take fifteen hours in the fiction or poetry sequence, as described above. To receive a degree with Honors or Highest Honors in Creative Writing, students are not required to major in English, though many aspiring writers do.

Though the Creative Writing Program is centered in the Department of English, its students can take advantage of parallel courses -- such as playwriting, screenwriting, and feature writing -- offered in other departments.
