Undergraduate Creative Writing Programs

The NewPages Guide to BA, BFA, AA, AFA Creative Writing Programs

This directory features creative writing undergraduate programs. The majority of these are for degrees in English with a concentration or minor in creative writing. It is still being updated, and we’d appreciate hearing from you if you know of programs not yet listed. Many links will be directly to the English Department of the college website if we can’t locate a more specific link to a creative writing program page for that institution.
