Writing majors take half of their courses in traditional areas of literature and the other half (six courses) in writing. Students interested in creative writing study poetry, fiction, and script writing while others take courses in professional writing and editing, creative nonfiction, biography, travel writing, and various special topics. Many of these courses are writing workshops centered on the discussion of work produced by students in the class along with much reading in the area under study.
