CRW 490 Senior Seminar in Creative Writing

In this capstone course, students engage in a semester-long dialogue about composition and revision and explore how writers bring depth, credibility, and professionalism to their work. The class is comprised of two major building blocks: a portfolio of creative work and a critical introduction that contextualizes and validates students’ aesthetic creed. Additionally, students consider some practical, career-related tactics that can sustain a writing life after graduation. The class culminates in a public reading of poetry, fiction, or creative nonfiction.
