About Bachelor of Creative Writing

To minor in creative writing, students must complete 18 hours of study within the English department. There are two tracks within the creative writing minor–poetry and fiction. Often students are introduced to poetry or fiction through their required English courses and then decide to minor in creative writing to further their study of the field.

Most degree programs at Baylor do not require a student to select a minor area of study, but students may choose to minor in a field that supplements their major or may choose to pursue an area of academic interest completely outside their major. For example, an English major may choose to minor in creative writing to supplement their major. Even though they are within the same department, minoring in creative writing would allow a student to take more courses in this specific vein of the field.

Courses a student might take include Advanced Creative Writing, Contemporary Poetry, or Modern American Novel.

Requirements and Admission Criteria for Bachelor of Creative Writing at Baylor University

Entry Requirements

We accept high school transcripts in these two ways:

OFFICIAL: Official transcripts can be mailed from your high school in a sealed and signed envelope or sent digitally through a secure electronic source (Slate.org, Parchment, CommonApp, or TRex). Your high school counselor can also email a high school transcript and it will be considered official if submitted from a school email address as verification.
UNOFFICIAL: Unofficial transcripts are sufficient to complete your application file, however, please note that final enrollment at Baylor is contingent upon receipt of an official transcript. If you would like to submit an unofficial transcript to complete your application file, simply upload a scanned copy in your goBAYLOR account or email [email protected] and include as an attachment.

Transcripts or mark sheets must include: years of enrollment, course titles and all marks earned for each course for 6 semesters. If your school's education system only has three years of secondary school, please have the previous year submitted as well.
Transcripts should be submitted in the original language and accompanied by an official literal English translation.
Although original documents are preferred, certified photocopies are acceptable when a signature and the stamp from the school or government official is included. Copies received through fax or email are not considered official. Students can self submit transcripts as long as they are in official, sealed envelopes from their secondary school.
Applicants from schools with external exams or leaving certificates should have their exams or certificates submitted to Baylor directly from the testing agency (IGCSE, GCE, WAEC, CBSE, IB, etc.). If you are unsure about which transcripts or exams are required for your country's education system, see our Required Secondary School Credentials by Country page.
If you have not yet taken your examination, your admission may be contingent upon our receipt of your exam results.
If using outside credential evaluators, Baylor will only accept evaluations from Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE) or World Education Services (WES). If you choose to use one of these services, Baylor requires copies of the original transcripts to accompany the evaluation. Each transcript is reviewed on an individual basis and should be verified by contacting [email protected].
