BFA in Creative Writing: Study with world class faculty on Stony Brook's bustling main campus. Be part of an intensive, supportive major led by exceptional working writers. In addition to workshops, majors are also expected to take literature courses that encourage them to "read like a writer" and think critically about their place in the literary landscape. In their third year of study, majors declare their specialization in creative nonfiction, fiction, poetry, or playwriting. Additionally, majors have opportunities to minor in television writing or screenwriting, enroll in a publishing practicum, engage in our national undergraduate publication Sandpiper Review, and take part in community readings and events.
