Writing |
| Our Creative Writing program
is one of national reputation. In addition to its B.A.
in creative writing, the University of Evansville is one
of only seven schools in the country to offer a B.F.A.
We have prize winning and widely published authors among
our faculty, and our students have twice in the past three
years won creative writing contests in which most of the
competition was graduate students. |
|
Some of the best scholarly and literary journals
have published our faculty's work, and our students have
been selected for prestigious and highly competitive workshops
such as the Bucknell Young Poets Workshop (only fourteen
accepted from the entire country, and we have twice had
a student participate) and the Radcliff Publishing Institute
(one student who, subsequently, in competition with students
largely from Ivy League schools, got a position in New York
as assistant to the editor-in-chief of a major woman's magazine,
Mirabelle).
Our students regularly get accepted in first-rate programs
of graduate study -- currently, we have graduates in The
University of California at Irvine, Arizona State, Florida
State, North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of Washington,
University of Illinois, Harvard, and others. Besides these
just mentioned, our recent graduates have been accepted
into programs in law, theology, library science, social
work, professional writing, and (with some additional courses)
psychology. |
BA in Creative Writing: Students in this program
take at least seven writing
courses and a minimum of five literature
courses. They may choose to emphasize fiction writing,
poetry writing, dramatic writing, or whatever mixture
strikes their fancies. |
B.F.A. in Creative Writing: The University of Evansville's
Creative Writing program ranks with the nation's very
best; in addition to being one of only seven universities
to offer a B.F.A. In Creative Writing, it is one of a
handful to publish an internationally acclaimed poetry
journal. Faculty in the program are all practicing writers
in the genres they teach. Other successful authors come
to campus as guest
readers, workshop leaders, and writers-in-residence. |
