About This Program

If you’re considering a creative writing bachelor’s degree, Full Sail will help show you how to tell stories in a meaningful and savvy way.

Stories carry the power to shape the world, allowing us to explore the furthest reaches of experience – whether it’s our own, or someone else’s. The creative writing curriculum will help you learn to tell tales across different media platforms, incorporate visual elements into stories, examine various genres, and learn about publication and distribution methods. You’ll hone your craft through ongoing portfolio courses and peer-to-peer workshops. The associate-level courses will help you build foundational knowledge, followed by advanced concepts in the bachelor’s portion.

HOW THIS WORKS

This undergraduate program is structured with two areas of focus that, when completed, will provide you with two distinct degrees. First, you’ll complete associate-level classes designed to give you foundational knowledge while still featuring focused core classes in your area of study.

You’ll then transition seamlessly into the bachelor’s portion of the program, where advanced courses will allow you to expand your skills and give you even more hands-on experience.
