Creative Writing Specialization

Focused area of study for Creative Media majors

Why Choose a Specialization in Creative Writing?

If it's a challenge for you to go through a day without writing—poetry, journal entries, blogs, impassioned emails or Facebook posts to friends—then the Creative Writing specialization could be a rewarding way to develop the practice. This specialization is designed for students inspired to pursue their own artistic vision. You'll study the craft and discipline of writing, how writers have created their unique voice, world literature, and personal and group performance at Champlain and beyond.

Our creative writers will be engaged individually and collaboratively with discussions inside and outside the classroom, building a portfolio and study-abroad options—all with other enthused, dedicated students and professors. Writing is a muscle that needs to be active to stay strong. This specialization will keep your writing muscle primed.
