Creative Writing (BA)

Few things are more powerful than the written word. When you study Creative Writing at Dal, you'll be taught by published writers in workshops that encourage and expand your imaginative and original writing. Learn about the writer's craft by reading and critiquing your peers’ work — while getting feedback on your own.
