At Idaho State University, our Department of English is dedicated to providing a diverse range of programs and courses in English literature, creative writing, professional writing, linguistics, and film studies. With our dedicated faculty and small, personal classes, you will have the opportunity to explore the rich traditions of literature and gain a deep understanding of language and its cultural impact. The Creative Writing track centers around a writing workshop model. This model includes studies in creative writing, humanities, British and American literature, genre, and language. Students learn logical analysis of prose and non-prose works, grammar usage, and build their skills to enhance their own writing and analytical thinking.Our professors have published award-winning pieces and appear in national literary journals. Our small class-sizes allow for personal attention.The creative writing major works best when paired with other studies that help our students prepare for the job markets of the 21st Century. In addition to pursuing their own creative writing, a student with this degree could go on to a career that involves editing, media and design, professional writing, teaching, or could pursue graduate work in the humanities.
