English Major: Honors in Creative Writing Requirements- Fall 2005 and later

The honors curriculum consists of the requirements of the "general" creative writing major but also includes the following additional requirements: English 381 and English 481. It is recommended that students begin the curriculum in the first semester of their sophmore year, if possible.
