Program details
Overview
The Creative Writing Associate of Arts Degree at Langara College, offered through the Department of English, covers poetry, prose fiction, non-fiction, screenplay, and stageplay writing. Students work in workshop-style classes that emphasize reading widely and writing across different voices and forms, combined with general arts and science transfer requirements. The program has open enrolment and takes a minimum of two years to complete on a full-time or part-time basis, with intakes in September, January, and May. Coursework is designed to transfer into second- and third-year English, Creative Writing, or related humanities programs at universities such as SFU, UBC, and UVic. Graduates typically continue into a four-year degree in Creative Writing, English, or a related field, or apply the writing and critical-thinking skills developed in the program to publishing, communications, or freelance writing work.
