Why Creative Writing?
Creative Writing may be for you if you are interested in:
- pursuing your talents as a poet or prose writer
- writing and editing print and digital documents
- teaching creative writing
- learning about writing as therapy
While at FMU, you will get first-hand on-the-job experience while completing graduation requirements.
