Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Writing and Linguistics] From Georgia Southern University

Creative writing is the expression of your thoughts, observations, or original ideas in fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, screenwriting, or multigenre pieces of writing. There is a craft to communicating what you want to say, and in the creative writing classes at Georgia Southern University, you will read, study, and write with a goal of learning and practicing that craft.

The Department of Writing and Linguistics is unique in Georgia for offering a major that incorporates the fields of professional & technical writing, linguistics, & writing studies, while also offering rigorous preparation in creative writing.

In the Writing Studies area, students study not only the process of writing?how people write, how people learn to write, how writing both records and transmits meaning?but also the concrete effects that writing has and continues to have on our world.

Writing Studies students learn how to build and critique arguments; how to use writing in the pursuit of personal, political, professional, and social goals; and how to research and produce writing in its twenty-first century forms, including Web texts, graphic novels, blogs, wikis, videos, and multimedia presentations.
