minor: Creative Writing

2024-2025

Minor: Creative Writing (15 credits)

In this program, students will develop their creative talents by analyzing the work of both canonical and non-canonical writers; understanding and practicing varied techniques and styles; developing and revising work for peer review; critiquing peer work in workshop; and preparing work for submission to recognized journals, contests, and graduate programs.

The creative writing minor enhances any major. In addition to providing students with advanced writing skills, this minor provides the opportunity to explore and develop creative potentials in art, science, health, education, communications, business, film and media, and the law, among many other fields. A grade of C or better is required for all minor courses.

A minimum of 12 credits must be taken at UNF. For English Major Students, courses used in the English major may not be used to satisfy requirements for the Creative Writing minor.
