OCAD University’s Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Creative Writing is a dynamic hands-on, studio-based approach to the study and practice of writing as artistic creation. Unlike other creative writing programs, students can blend writing with art and design studio classes at Canada’s biggest art and design university. The program includes the study of living literary culture and literary art practices and production and emphasizes the practice, craft, and production of spoken, written, visual and verbal texts as well as experimental language forms that exist both inside and outside established genres.
This program combines written performance and visual expression. Students will participate in:
- An online and print journal
- Symposia, workshops
- Showcasing and public performances
- A book, zine, and publications fair
- Field trips to local readings, conferences, and festivals
- A digital and analog writing lab and access to the sound studio
- A reading series featuring established, emerging, and student writers
- Mentorships, as both mentees and later as mentors
- University slam team
- A nurturing and supportive emerging literary community
- Mentorship by faculty
This program is for both new and emerging writers. Students will become part of a nurturing and supportive literary community. By the end of your degree, students will complete a body of work aimed at publication or exhibition to launch their career.
