The Bachelor of Arts degree in English with an emphasis in Creative Writing grounds students in successful strategies to create their own fiction and poetry. Students also analyze the fiction and poetry of other writers to determine how they create successful work.

At Pittsburg State, we believe you learn by doing. That?s why students are given the opportunity to publish in the PSU student literary magazine,?The Cow Creek Review. They can also be members of the magazine?s staff to review submissions, help create the magazine?s design, and prepare it for publication.

Students are able to have their work judged by professionals in the university?s annual literary contest, and are provided with multiple opportunities to read their work in public, both on and off campus.
