Introducing the Creative Writing Major at Oregon State University (English and Spanish Subtitles) OSU School of Writing, Literature and Film 2020-12-08 | The new BA in Creative Writing at Oregon State University builds upon our long tradition of fostering excellence in the literary arts. In the 1950s, William Kittredge was a student here, and Bernard Malamud won a National Book Award while teaching in the English Department. This is a distinguished past, but our present is even more remarkable. For the last two decades, our creative writing professors have built one of the premier MFA programs in the nation. The new creative writing undergraduate degree, begun in Fall 2020, brings the same passion for imaginative work to our undergraduate populations. Students pursuing a creative writing degree will study with an acclaimed faculty of writers and scholars. Our creative writing faculty have published more than 40 books, which have been recognized as New York Times Notable Books, Barnes and Noble Discover Great New Writers selections, and Amazon’s Best Book of the Year. These same faculty have been selected as winners of the Oregon Book Award, the John Ciardi Prize, the National Jewish Book Award, and the Whiting Award, and their poetry, prose, and creative nonfiction have been recommended by The New Yorker, Salon, BookPage, Publishers Weekly, and Library Journal. These distinguished achievments are complemented by our faculty’s active engagement with the literary community—hosting national radio shows and leading local arts initiatives—as well as their deep commitment to teaching and mentoring. We live in a time when our professional cultures seek effective and powerful story-tellers to critique and create the narratives we need. In the entertainment industry, marketing and communications, business, journalism public relations, law, community organizing, education, and grant writing, creative writing offers you endless possibilities for taking your stories beyond our classrooms. Our program prepares you to create new narratives to lead change, shape the world, and design the future.Everyone has a story to tell.
