POINTS of DISTINCTION
- SUU offers the only teaching and creative writing composite degree in the Utah higher-education system
- Our faculty include former public school teachers and award-winning writers of fiction and poetry
- Our average creative writing and upper-division English class size is 21.5 students, allowing our majors personal contact and professional attention
POSSIBLE CAREERS
Elementary, middle, or high school teacher of English composition, literature, and creative writing (including fiction, poetry, play-writing, and creative nonfiction)
AVAILABLE RESOURCES
- In addition to the SUU English Department’s outstanding faculty, students also work closely with experienced faculty in the Education College. We also publish an annual student literary magazine, The Kolob Canyon Review, and host two annual conferences: a Creative Writing/Creative Teaching Conference in the fall and our Creative Writing Conference and Contest for High School Students in the spring. Students have many opportunities to participate in these activities and to publicly read and present their own creative work.
