Over the last four decades, Penn has gradually established a premier undergraduate creative writing curriculum that has included courses in poetry, fiction, nonfiction, screenwriting, playwriting, writing for children, journalistic writing, and review, taught by our nationally prominent faculty. As a major interested in writing, they will be able to take at least three workshops as part of the curriculum, finding out where your creative interests lie, whether in reviewing live performances of modern dance or rock and roll or transforming the raw emotive material of life into well-crafted and alluring short stories, poems, personal essays, scripts, or documenting in bold non-fiction strokes the resonant landscape of our time and place. And they will be able to study with eminent writers who have also earned a reputation as being terrific teachers.
