Concentration in Writing or Creative Writing

Words are powerful. They tell stories, share information, and express who we are. As a Writing or Creative Writing student, you’ll focus on how to best write for different genres, subjects, and professional circumstances. More importantly, you’ll learn how to use your words to effect change and tell your story.
