9. Creative Writing
Students electing a concentration in Creative Writing must pass the prerequisite course, English 80, prior to enrolling in any other Creative Writing course. Courses satisfying this Concentration Area must include:
One course selected from English 81, 82, or 83.
English 85, the senior seminar in Creative Writing
A course in contemporary poetry, fiction, prose non-fiction or drama, or a writing course offered by another department (screen writing in Film and TV, play writing in Drama, nature writing in Environmental Studies, for example).
Another course in contemporary poetry, fiction, prose non-fiction or drama, OR a writing course offered by another department (screen writing in Film and TV, play writing in Drama, nature writing in Environmental Studies, for example), OR a senior project: either English 97 (one-term) or English 98 (two-term honors project), OR a second course chosen from English 81, 82, and 83.
Please note that enrollment in all Creative Writing courses requires the submission of a writing sample and the permission of the instructor. Effectively, this means some students in their sixth term of residence will enroll as English majors with another Concentration Area until they have completed the Creative Writing course sequence.
10. Independent Proposal
Students may propose, by petition to the Committee on the Departmental Curriculum, a Concentration Area different from those listed above. Such proposals, together with a written rationale, must be submitted before the end of the junior year.
