Bachelor of Fine Arts in Creative Writing +

Undergraduate program director.

With its focus on the study of important works, this degree combines literature courses and writing workshops to explore students’ talents as creative writers. Each student is required to take the 21-credit Creative Writing core, in addition to 39 credits taken in writing, literature and theory, and elective courses.

Bachelor of Arts in English +

Under the guidance of faculty advisors, majors complete a program in one of two areas of study: literary & rhetorical studies and journalism. Each student is required to take the 15–credit English core, in addition to a 27-33 credit area of study.

Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing +

Graduate program director.

Hours in thought, in books, on the keyboard. Hours talking with each other and visiting writers about how to create something extraordinary in the world. The MFA program requires 36 credits of coursework, 21 of which are in creative writing. The remaining 15 credits can be chosen from a variety of literature, rhetoric, and digital humanities courses. Among these electives are courses connected with the Fowles Reading Series and Tabula Poetica, and independent study is also possible.

The MFA is a terminal degree in creative writing. Chapman University sees the MFA as a beginning, too. Many MFA graduates teach at two- and four-year colleges, publish their work, or go on to professional careers in writing and editing. In recent years, students have graduated with a Fulbright Fellowship, a poem or story in a literary journal, and acceptance to a PhD program.

The dual degree combines the MFA in Creative Writing and the MA in English. The dual degree combines the practice and study of creative writing with literary scholarship. It is designed for students who intend to pursue a career in teaching English and creative writing at the university, community college or secondary-school level.

Master of Arts in English +

The Master of Arts in English is designed for students seeking continuing education, a foundation for doctoral work (PhD, EdD, JD) and/or a credential qualifying them to teach literature and composition courses at junior and community colleges. Full-time students complete the degree in two years. All graduate classes are offered in the late afternoon or evening.

Joanna Levin, Ph.D., Chair

The mission of the Department of English is to exemplify and encourage the ability to think creatively and critically and to express ideas with clarity and intellectual rigor, to develop a detailed knowledge of several cultural traditions and to foster the desire to explore related fields of study, such as psychology, history, philosophy, linguistics, sociology and religious studies. The department provides Chapman students with innovative and rigorous instruction in critical thinking and writing skills, in-depth knowledge of the world’s literary traditions and a basis for lifelong learning in an interdisciplinary context.

English degree programs give students knowledge and skills they can use to succeed in many careers. English is particularly useful as a double major or minor in combination with business, pre-law, social work, government, pre-med and media studies. English alumni employ their highly sought-after thinking and communication skills as copy editors, advertising executives, software developers, reporters, technical writers, teachers and professors.

Extracurricular Opportunities In addition to an outstanding curriculum, the major in English at Chapman offers students opportunities and activities in a variety of academic and professional areas including:

  • Sigma Tau Delta, National English Honors Society.
  • Summer courses taught abroad.
  • Tutoring in the Writing Center.
