什么是创意写作?
Creative writing blends the practical and the ideal as it gives you the space and challenge to explore and develop your creative talent. You may take the creative writing courses as electives or to fulfill requirements for the 英语 major. You may also want to consider the 创意写作 concentration, which allows you to explore equally the different forms of creative writing—fiction, 诗歌, and nonfiction—or to focus primarily on one of them.
The 创意写作 concentration will hone your skills in both practical and creative forms by giving you instruction and intensive practice in writing. Students of creative writing bring to the workplace a nuanced and practical understanding of how to employ imaginative language in print, 在线, 在教室, and in a wide range of communication-based environments.
