ENGL 4401 - Seminar on Special Topics in Creative Writing SW

3 hours

Prerequisites: A grade of “C” or better in ENGL 2601 Co-requisite: May take ENGL 2601 as a co-requisite rather than as a prerequisite with permission of the English Department. This course requires students to take a more active role in class discussion and exposes them to the type of coursework done in graduate school. Instead of examining a broad period or movement, students in this course perform in-depth study of a more narrow aspect of creative writing. The course may include interdisciplinary study and be team-taught with a professor from a field other than English. This course may be repeated with the professor’s approval. Sample topics include genre fiction, confessionalism and post-confessionalism, flash fiction and the prose poem, and the long poem.
