Colleges that offer majors in creative writing

Of course, if you're looking to write specifically for newspaper s and magazinesthis is your major. I think I'll qualify for a college varsity team. Again, this is an easy program to find in many geographic areas.

In addition to the senior thesis, students must write and defend a 15 to 20 page piece describing their philosophy of aesthetics, composition, and creative writing.

This writing major would be ideal for those looking to practice the craft within a corporate environment. This is a career-oriented writing program, and the one most recommended to aspiring freelance writers.

Courses include American poetry, contemporary poetry, playwriting, screenwriting, memoir and personal essays, and contemporary short stories.

A requisite editing class was never lost on any freelance writereither.
