Creative Writing at Binghamton University

The Creative Writing Program at Binghamton University is designed to foster in its students a powerful, disciplined, and skilled creativity cultivated in a supportive environment. Guided by internationally recognized faculty, students prepare for a career in a wide array of artistic and professional fields. The program emphasizes critical thinking, personal voice, and collaboration across artistic disciplines as a partner program in the School of the Arts.

Undergraduates can pursue a BA in English with a creative writing specialization, focusing on poetry, fiction, nonfiction, memoir,  children's literature, or screenwriting through workshops and literature study. At the graduate level, our program offers both an MA and PhD in English with a specialization in creative writing. Funded PhD students typically have the opportunity to teach composition and creative writing, and all students take part in seminars and talks devoted to professional skill building as well as have access to publishing and other literary leadership opportunities.
