• Minors in literature, expository writing, film studies and imaginative writing
• The chance to see your work in print in literary journals, e-anthologies, student newspapers and other publications
• A dedicated and talented faculty who will give you the individualized attention you need
• Teaching opportunities in local middle and high schools
• An active community of student literary organizations
• Practical internships in writing,journalism, publishing and other fields
