Morehead State University is one of the few universities in the country
to offer a BFA in Creative Writing. Our Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in
Creative Writing combines rigorous instruction with an active community
so that aspiring writers may develop their individual talents in an
atmosphere that is both demanding and supportive.
The program
provides undergraduate students an opportunity to be taught by
accomplished faculty members who are working writers through
studio-oriented creative writing workshops in poetry, fiction, and
creative non-fiction. Students are also provided a solid foundation of
literature courses and complete general education courses in the
humanities, the natural and social sciences and foreign languages.
Candidates for graduation complete a creative thesis and are required to
participate in a public reading from their work.
Course work is supplemented by a number of extracurricular opportunities including: The Creative Writing Symposium, Inscape,
The MSU Reading Series, and the all-student led Writer's Network. MSU
further supports creative writing through such efforts as the Thomas and
Lillie D. Chaffin Award for Appalachian Literature and the New Writers
Series, which in cooperation with Wind Publications, seeks to publish
new writers in the Appalachian region.
