Overview

Creative Writing from Oklahoma State University allows you to focus on developing your abilities as a poet, fiction writer, and/or creative nonfiction writer through a course of study emphasizing creative writing workshops, literature seminars, and electives in any of those or other areas in language and culture. In consultation with your advisory committee—made up of nationally and internationally recognized faculty—you will devise an individualized curriculum that reflects your own artistic and intellectual interests and prepares you to publish your artistic writing, enter a PhD program, or teach at the college level.
