moreHere Now and There Later
Literary study and creative writing prepare you for all kinds of directions after you leave Beloit. Learn to think critically and creatively, communicate effectively, and collaborate productively, and you will always be better for it in your chosen path.
Hands-on campus opportunities like editing the student newspaper and putting together a museum exhibit will help you get there. So do experiences like an internship at a national newspaper like USA Today or a literary press like Milkweed Press. Then comes the Fulbright in Korea, the MFA in Iowa, or even making The New York Times bestseller list with your fantasy book series. These are our stories. Come to Beloit and start a new one.
When you study Creative Writing and Literary Studies at Beloit, something is always happening. Creative writing contests. Visiting writers. Student readings. Zine-making workshops. Literary balls in your favorite character costume. Going to a national conference to represent the Beloit Fiction Journal, which you helped edit.
We offer an innovative, flexible and integrated curriculum that combines literary study and creative writing with strong ties to our media studies and journalism programs. You can take courses in topics like Victorian Garbage, Graphic Novel and Comics, Medieval Love, Horror in Film and Fiction, Video Essay, and Music Journalism.
