Creative Writing

Creative Writing is a course of study offered through the English Department. It includes one major and one minor. The department is located in Old Main.

Overview

Creative Writing is a path of study chosen by people who have few to no marketable skills. It is one of Knox's most popular majors and many students were attracted to the school by the Creative Writing department's cruelly deceptive beacon. Seriously, though, the program isn't terrible.

Like most Humanities majors, Creative Writing includes many opportunities after graduation for living in a cardboard box under a bridge.

Those who major in Creative Writing can often be spotted tying their scarves, smoking Marlboro Reds and saying "dichotomy" a lot. Generally, they hate adverbs.
