Welcome
In an increasingly global culture, people skilled in the art and science of written communication are in demand. Writers work in new genres of nonfiction writing, such as creative nonfiction and literary journalism, and in new media including Web sites, blogs and podcasts.
The writing program at SCAD offers instruction in a wide spectrum of nonfiction writing, including creative nonfiction, magazine, journalism, new media writing, writing for business, and writing for nonprofits. All writing students benefit from a foundation in visual art, which makes them better writers and artists.

The program focuses on preparing writers for professional careers in a broad range of fields. Students gain internships with magazines, newspapers and publishing houses, enabling them to assemble portfolios of “clippings” so crucial to career building.
Visiting authors explain the practical aspects of professional writing, share their work and offer feedback to student writers. Recent visitors include Tom Wolfe, Amy Tan, Edward Albee, Jamaica Kincaid, Walter Mosely, Tama Janowitz and Augusten Burroughs.

Small class size promotes critiques, careful reading and consideration of what makes good writing. Practical experience is available through internships, through Student Media, and through the university’s literary journals.
