Program Overview

The creative writing program at Murray State offers three degree options – the Bachelor of Fine Arts, the Bachelor of Arts, and the Bachelor of Science – more than any other public university in the state. Students who major in creative writing may take introductory, intermediate, and advanced courses in fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, as well as specialty courses on topics ranging from horror writing to nature poetry. In addition to working closely with our faculty, creative writing majors learn from other publishing authors who visit campus as part of the annual Murray State Reading Series. They also have the opportunity to develop their editing skills by working on Notations, the student-run literary journal.
