Program Details

Creative Writing (Combined Honours) School: Dalhousie University Faculty: Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences Degree: Bachelor ; Honours Field of Study: English Creative Writing Description: The Creative Writing Concentration in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences is not restricted to FASS students. Dalhousie and King's students from any faculty are able to combine Creative Writing with another subject to earn one of two combined degrees: a B.A. (20-credit) Double Major program with Creative Writing as the secondary subject, or a B.A. (20-credit) Combined Honours program with Creative Writing as a secondary subject. Courses are available in fiction, poetry, dramatic narrative (playwriting), and narrative non-fiction. Students are advised to ensure that their other area of study (e.g., French, Biology or English) may serve as the primary subject in a Double Major or Combined Honours Degree. One cannot complete a stand-alone degree with a major in Creative Writing. Rather, the sustained and formal study of creative writing is combined with another subject to produce a Double Major or Combined Honours degree.
