The Bachelor of Fine Arts

By dedicating their collegiate study to creative writing, BFA students  at Roger Williams University commit to becoming writers; they can expect to be treated as serious writers. As such, they will engage in the formal and rigorous study of craft through reading, revising, and developing the methodical and critical skills that assist in improving their own creative work as well as the work of others. If students apply themselves deliberately to the study of writing in their time at RWU, they can expect to establish solid foundations for these essential practices, common to all writers/artists.

The Department of Creative Writing curriculum has an active learning environment that houses an established visiting writers series, programs that work on international humanitarian issues, and roger: an arts & literary magazine.
