Program Overview
Our English Writing major focuses on creative writing, both fiction and non-fiction. As a student in the Writing major, you will have the opportunity to join our extra-curricular writer’s group with both professors and students who gather to discuss their writing. Our small class size enhances learning by providing a low student-to-professor ratio, creating the opportunity to create close student-mentor relationships.
Whether you want to be a writer, author, editor, or publicist, Judson’s writing program can give you the wide-ranging skills you need to thrive.
