About
The intimate nature of the liberal arts university combined with the small class size of the program’s workshops and seminars offer students a unique and enriching setting for an in-depth study of literature from a writer’s perspective and a vigorous pursuit of creative expression and professional craft. At the culmination of their efforts, students in the program develop a significant manuscript of their writing in close consultation with faculty members—a capstone project that often serves as a student’s writing sample if they choose to pursue graduate work or a writing career. Students also produce the Redlands Review, the program’s literary magazine. In addition to coursework, the Creative Writing Department regularly hosts a Visiting Writers Series, giving students the chance to interact with exciting current authors.
