Creative Writing Transfer

As Chekhov said: “Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.” 

How does one create literary art? How can it be done?  Most importantly, why do it?  In this program, we seek answers to these questions. In the process, you’ll learn empathy.  You’ll read closely.  You’ll analyze.  You’ll be allowed to express yourself. You’ll learn how to talk about and improve upon a work in progress.  Most importantly, you will write.

This program allows you to pursue your interests in creative writing while earning your Associate of Arts degree. We offer smaller classes that operate under the assumption that would-be literary artists must do what all aspiring writers must:  read and write. In addition, our program focuses on providing a solid foundation in the study of multiple genres, broad academic preparation in literature and other arts, and exploring literary models from diverse cultures, races, and contexts.

This guaranteed course transfer only applies to the University of Colorado-Denver.
