Program details

Overview

Creative Writing is an Honours Bachelor of Arts program offered at the University of Toronto Mississauga, Scarborough, and St. George campuses, with Major and Minor options depending on campus. Students produce original work in areas such as poetry, fiction, non-fiction, screenwriting, and comics, developing their craft in workshop-based classes with feedback from instructors, peers, and visiting writers. The Mississauga Minor allows students to focus on literary or dramatic writing, or to combine both; the Scarborough program includes experiential and work-integrated learning opportunities. At Scarborough the program runs four years full-time, with Fall and Winter entry points. Admission to each campus's program is assessed on the applicant's Grade 12 English and overall competitive average rather than open enrolment into a subject POSt.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six subjects at the 4U/M level, including English (ENG4U/EAE4U); the co-op component of Grade 12 courses is not used for admission. At U of T Mississauga the competitive average is typically mid- to high-70s. At U of T Scarborough the required course is Grade 12 English, with a minimum 70% in English and a competitive average in the mid-70s overall.
