Undergraduate Program

Welcome to the Undergraduate Creative Writing Program. Located in the very heart of literary Greenwich Village, the undergraduate program offers students the opportunity to immerse themselves in the writing life with workshops, readings, internships, writing prizes, and events designed to cultivate and inspire.

Our popular Minor in Creative Writing provides students with an exciting progression of coursework, ranging from an introduction to the fundamentals of the craft to more advanced explorations of specific forms, techniques, and genres.

Our distinguished Faculty of award-winning poets, novelists, short story writers, and memoirists represents a wide array of contemporary aesthetics. In recent years, our creative writing instructors have been the recipients of NEA fellowships, Pushcart prizes, and the Whiting Writer’s Award. In 2006, two of our creative writing instructors were recipients of the prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship.
