More than 30 introductory writing classes are offered each semester, with an additional 20 reading seminars and writing workshops for majors and non-majors.<\/p>\r\n<p>For the BA, students work primarily in fiction and poetry but may take courses in nonfiction prose, editorial writing, screenwriting, playwriting, and science writing. An array of internships and a visiting writers\u2019 reading series offer wider opportunities.<\/p>\r\n<p>For the two-year MFA, students concentrate in either fiction or poetry. The Writing Seminars\u2019 success at all levels is confirmed by an extraordinary record of prizes for, and publications by, our alumni.<\/p>\r\n<h3>What can you do with your degree?<\/h3>\r\n<p>Write! With skills learned at The Writing Seminars, countless students have gone on to publish novels, short stories, poetry collections, and nonfiction articles and books. Our graduates also excel simultaneously in fields such as teaching, editing, arts administration, and a variety of other professions ranging from law to business to medicine.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Related Programs and Centers<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a title=\"Film and Media Studies\" href=\"http:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/fields\/film-and-media-studies\/\">Film and Media<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a title=\"Theatre Arts\" href=\"http:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/fields\/theatre-arts\/\">Theatre Arts<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><em><a href=\"http:\/\/hopkinsreview.jhu.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Hopkins Review<\/a><\/em><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>"],"ecpt_headline":["Where Words Matter"],"ecpt_subhead":["The most distinguished writers, teaching the best emerging writers."],"ecpt_keywords":["writing, writing seminars, fiction, poetry, science writing, hopkins review, screenwriting, playwriting, communication, editorial, nonfiction, creative writing, literature"],"ecpt_image":["http:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/writingseminars-lp.jpg"],"ecpt_indeximage":["http:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/writingseminars-new.jpg"],"_edit_lock":["1714072727:433"],"ecpt_field_level":["undergraduate"],"_yoast_wpseo_estimated-reading-time-minutes":[""],"_yoast_wpseo_wordproof_timestamp":[""],"_yoast_wpseo_primary_program_type":[""]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Writing Seminars &#8211;
