Senior Project

Catalog description

A weekly seminar in planning and executing an independent, interdisciplinary creative writing project, the culmination of the major or minor, to be taken while writing the manuscript. The nature of the manuscript is up to the individual, though the concept must be approved by the program director before the student can enroll in this course. Projects could incorporate a theme or insight from the writer’s major area of study or from any discipline beyond creative writing that engages the writer. Weekly class meetings give structure to the independent writing process, helping minors to plan, research and locate the resources they need. In the second half of the course, guest speakers with expertise in the areas students are encountering will be brought in.
