Bachelor degree in Creative Writing at Alderson Broaddus College

On our peaceful and beautiful campus, you will find opportunities to develop your skills and talents in a warm and supportive atmosphere. You will find your own work encouraged and stimulated by lively interactions with other creative writing students and with our creative writing faculty, all of whom are themselves published writers and/or editors of creative work. You will study many kinds of writing (for all writing requires creativity), but you will focus especially on developing your skills in writing fiction, nonfiction, poetry, or drama, with an emphasis on the genre or genres you prefer. You will also learn to appreciate and better understand the work of great writers as you participate in the many literature courses that are part of our curriculum. And you will learn the fundamentals of correctness and rhetorical effectiveness-essentials to good writing of any kind-through course work in composition and advanced grammar. Your study of the creative process will also be enhanced by your choice of courses in art, music or theatre history or appreciation.

At Alderson-Broaddus, every creative writing student is viewed by faculty and other students as an individual with unique talents, and every student is helped and encouraged in accordance with those unique talents.
