Through our program, writers shape their literary voices, develop distinctive styles, and intensify their written, critical, and editorial skills.
The undergraduate Creative Writing minor at the University of Illinois combines small, foundational workshops (poetry or fiction) with electives in literature, storytelling, rhetoric, and theatre. The result is a lively and flexible program of study that develops students' analytical and creative skills and prepares them for work or graduate study in any number of fields.
