SECTION A

Prefix:
Engl / Course #:
423 / Abbreviated title (32 char.):
Creative Writing Studio / Credits:
3
Complete course title:
Creative Writing Studio
Course taught before? Yes No When?
Rationale:
Enrollment in our current creative writing courses (322 and 323) is always healthy, and students have long shown interest in more. They have the option of additional offerings across the river at MSUM, but have trouble getting into already full classes. Creative writing courses at all levels traditionally tend to fill well, and an advanced option at NDSU is overdue. It also fits helpfully with curricular changes in English now being discussed (vertical curriculum, English Writing major.).

Prerequisites/Corequisites: 275, 322, 323, or permission of instructor

SECTION F
