Bachelor of Fine Arts - Creative Writing

OCAD University’s Creative Writing program is a hands-on, studio-based program about writing as artistic creation. Unlike other creative writing programs, you can blend writing with art and design studio classes at Canada’s biggest art and design university.

This program combines written, performance and visual expression. You’ll 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 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. You’ll become part of a nurturing and supportive literary community. By the end of your degree, you’ll complete a body of work aimed at publication or exhibition to launch your career. At the end of this four-year program, you will earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.
