Interested students are encouraged to apply for the Creative Writing Honors Program and take CRW 4932: Honors Creative Writing Seminar in Spring 2027. The course focuses on completing the creative writing honors thesis—a substantial manuscript of fiction, creative nonfiction, or poetry, accompanied by a reflective essay. Students will also read and write about published works and craft essays, workshop their peers’ drafts, and deepen their understanding of the craft of writing.

Creative Writing Honors Eligibility Requirements:

Eligible students should have completed 60 credits, including CRW 3010: Creative Writing and two 4000-level creative writing workshops, and have earned a 3.0 GPA overall and 3.5 GPA in English major courses.��

Note: Students who do not meet GPA requirements or have not completed a second 4000-level creative writing workshop may still apply and may be admitted on the strength of their application. However, receiving the honors designation at graduation requires meeting all GPA and program requirements.

REQUIREMENTS FOR HONORS IN CREATIVE WRITING

Students will receive the designation “Honors in Creative Writing” at graduation upon satisfactory completion of the following requirements:

1. Fulfillment of all normal field distribution requirements for the English major.
2. Completion of CRW 4932: Honors Creative Writing Seminar with a grade of B or higher, including a thesis of substance and quality approved by the course instructor and a second faculty reader assigned by the Department of English.
3. Achievement of an overall GPA of at least 3.0 and a GPA of at least 3.5 in all English courses at the time of graduation.

Students who complete all other program requirements but do not meet the GPA minimums will retain credit for all completed work, including the Honors Creative Writing Seminar, but will not receive the honors designation.

Students who engage in academic dishonesty will be dismissed from the honors program and may face additional penalties.
