Carthage encourages serious writers from all majors to develop a passion for creative writing, and allows them to hone their skills in writing fiction, poetry and creative nonfiction. At Carthage, students can major in English with an emphasis in creative writing, or add a creative writing minor to their studies in another subject. Creative writing students at Carthage are part of an active, welcoming community of English majors and minors. They work closely with writing faculty and visiting professional writers, and have many opportunities to practice and publish their work. Student writers can join Poetry Underground, a student poetry association that hosts weekly meetings, open mic nights and poetry slams. Students can also participate in book clubs and poetry festivals, and submit their work to Centrique, the College’s creative arts journal.
