CRWR 490 - Creative Writing Capstone Seminar

FC ARHU WADV

4 credits
Creative writing majors in their senior year complete a capstone project as part of the capstone seminar. The capstone project is a body of carefully considered creative work of 20-35 pages of poetry, 25-50 pages of prose, or 25-50 pages of a play or screenplay. A combination of peer workshops and occasional one-on-one conferences with the instructor facilitates the development of independent project planning, writing, and revision. Regular group meetings consist of seminars on topics related to craft and creative process, as well as discussions on life after college and the translation of skills gained in the program to both literary and non-literary careers. Students generally complete capstones after completion of three 300-level workshops.
