Creative Writing in Spanish (Minor)
Program Description
The minor in Creative Writing in Spanish encourages emerging writers to discover their strengths and develop skills in creative writing across genres (fiction, poetry, prose) and in a range of other expressive techniques. This four-course (16-credit) minor is comprised of three practical workshops in creative writing and one advanced course in literature of the student's choosing (a “300-level course”). Through this training, students improve their communication and comprehension skills in Spanish—skills which are transferable to a range of professional fields, such as journalism and commercial writing. The program’s faculty includes prominent Latin American, Spanish, and Latinx writers who teach courses in the minor and offer individual guidance to students.
The Department of Spanish and Portuguese is an interdisciplinary department focused on the languages, cultural formations, and critical thought emerging from Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain, and the Luso-Afro-Brazilian world. If you are interested in the minor in Spanish or the major in Spanish and Portuguese, please see the relevant pages of this Bulletin.
