The Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing at New England College blends curriculum built around a workshop-focused classroom approach with a wide ranging set of hands-on and individually guided practicum opportunities. This structure allows you to engage your creative development in all genres of creative writing by linking classroom delivered theory/practice with its exploration in relevant, real-world settings.

Emphasizing the creative community as an essential element of any creative endeavour, the Creative Writing department is comprised of energetic and engaging faculty (published and active in their field) who are dedicated to the one-on-one availability which distinguishes an NEC education. With a focus on individual transformation, the Creative Writing program bolsters and broadens existing areas of interest as opposed to shepherding you toward a singular aesthetic. The result is a knowledge-based, experiential course of study with an eye on flowering rather than funneling.
