The Creative Writing Program at Brandeis offers major and minor tracks with concentrations in fiction, poetry, or screenwriting. Students are given myriad opportunities to work with renowned authors in those fields. From the website: "The Creative Writing Program is structured to allow flexible participation in its activities by a diverse body of students, whose interest or commitment may vary in
nature or over time. The major consists of a combination of writing workshops, literature courses, studio art, and independent study, culminating in a body of creative work of high caliber, and a historical and contemporary grasp of literary currents. Under the thesis option, it culminates in a book-length thesis in poetry, fiction or another literary genre, written under the close supervision of a creative writing faculty member over the two semesters of the senior year."
