Bachelor [Creative Writing] From Bowling Green State University

Foundational courses in American and English literature, world literature, literary criticism and literary theory provide the cultural and historical context for students’ original work in the BFA degree program. Students also complete general education courses in a foreign language, the natural and social sciences, and the humanities to obtain a well-rounded education.

Career Opportunities

Although BGSU emphasizes the fine arts nature of its writing experiences, it also recognizes students’ career needs. Students may select a minor or second major in any field to enhance their education and job possibilities, or select the individualized minor to create a minor that best suits their interests and needs.

Special Features

The young writer’s range of experiences at BGSU is enhanced by participating in activities with MFA students working in poetry and fiction. The creative writing program hosts a visiting writers series that invites nationally known writers to campus to read from their works and speak to students and faculty.

Students may contribute to Prairie Margins, the English department’s undergraduate literary magazine. Students also have the opportunity to participate in the editing and production of this magazine, and to participate in the activities of the program’s undergraduate writing club, Undergrowth.
