SOU Creative Writing Academic Programs
Students in Creative Writing at SOU’s Oregon Center for the Arts receive immersive training in the exciting field of contemporary literary production and culture. Intensive coursework in fiction, poetry, non-fiction, and cross-genre writing prepares graduates for active application of their skills, whether their goals are to go on to an advanced program of study or to enter the broader marketplace with the valuable edge afforded by a degree that emphasizes verbal skills and effective communication. Emphasis is on dynamic forms of multicultural, hypersocial, and interdisciplinary innovation, with a firm grounding in traditional models and precedents. Enabled by the combined power of intellectual rigor and imaginative freedom, our writers discover ways to break through the multiple barriers in their path to artistic fulfillment and professional achievement.

What SOU Creative Writing Students are Saying
My experience in this program has been illuminating. It’s not just artistic growth the program offers, but personal growth as well. The teachers are extremely supportive and deeply intelligent people. This isn’t just me fluffing pillows. It’s worth anybody’s time.
I’ve found a close-knit community in the creative writing BFA. I get to work with my professors and friends on projects that interest me; all while being able to engage with the many great opportunities here in Ashland!
