Undergraduate Programs

Undergraduate programs are designed to help students achieve personal and creative fulfillment and prepare them to pursue a wide range of professional careers. Students can earn either a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) or a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Writing Literature and Publishing and can also elect minors in Writing, Publishing, Literature, Poetry or Fiction.

Students are introduced to the disciplines of writing, literature and publishing and develop specific skills and confidence in the medium of their choice. They learn and grow as professionals under the guidance of supportive faculty experts in poetry, fiction, screenwriting, grant writing, publishing and other areas of specialization.

Emerson’s location in Boston, an East Coast publishing and cultural hub, expands the resources available to students.
