Minor in Creative Writing
While it’s now possible to major in English and Comparative Literature (ECL) with a concentration in Creative Writing, the minor- which has been offered for almost fifty years- remains intact and unchanged. Students wishing to minor in Creative Writing do not have to major in ECL. We welcome all disciplines!
The minor requires 15 hours (a total of five courses) and may be earned by following one of the tracks below. Please visit the minor’s requirements page in the catalog for more detailed information about how to progress successfully through the program. It is important to note that writing classes offered by the UNC Friday Center for Continuing Education (correspondence, independent study, online) do not count toward the minor.
Please visit the UNC Catalog for descriptions of every ECL Course potentially offered by the department and check ConnectCarolina for the most up-to-date offerings.
