The Department of Writing, Literature & Publishing

The Department of Writing, Literature and Publishing (WLP) offers four degree programs: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Master of Arts and Master of Fine Arts.  Our undergraduate programs prepare students to write and think creatively and critically through study in a variety of genres, including poetry, fiction, nonfiction and magazine writing. Publishing courses are a feature of both the B.A. and M.A. programs while the B.F.A. and M.F.A. programs focus on giving students in-depth workshop experience in various genres combined with the formal study of literature. Alumni from our programs go on to become writers and editors, published poets and novelists, or enter the publishing world through the many internships the department makes available in the Boston area.
