Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing

Our Creative Writing program emphasizes creativity by attending to its source: consciousness:

More than any other ingredient in the writer’s repertoire, consciousness itself is what fuels creative writing. It connects authors to their writing, to themselves, and to their audience.

• Hone your skills in poetry, fiction, and non-fiction in a professional workshop atmosphere
• Receive individual attention from your teachers and support from the local creative community
• Expand your awareness and your creativity holistically through the practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique
• Graduate with a robust portfolio of work and a comprehensive understanding of how to pursue a career in writing.

Write more with less stress

Our program is founded on the idea that creativity is not meant to be a struggle, but instead a fun and rewarding process.

At MIU, you'll take only one full-time class a month, giving you the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the knowledge without the stress of balancing multiple courses and exams.

In every class, we offer our students tools and techniques to awaken creativity in authentic ways that deeply engage mind, heart, and soul.
